EORI and Non‑EU Trade (CH, NO)

Reference guidance for VAT, EORI, LEI and company registration number formats across EU member states.

Key point

EORI is an EU customs identifier. Non‑EU counterparts may use different national customs identifiers. In EU customs declarations, the EU party acting in the procedure generally uses their own EORI.

What to verify

Your own EORI and the role you play (importer/exporter/representative).
Counterparty legal name/address and any national identifiers required for contracts/banking.
That invoice entity and declared entity match (or are documented where different).

Documentation focus

Contract/invoice identifiers (VAT IDs where relevant).
Customs declaration references and EORI used.
Broker instructions and power of attorney records where representation is used.
