EORI NUMBER ON IMPORT CLEARANCE
Since the beginning of September, the Finnish Customs has enhanced controls on the use of EORI numbers in customs declarations, and a declaration without a valid EORI number will not be accepted by the clearance system anymore.
Under current legislation, the declaration must include a valid EORI number, and a VAT number, for example, is not sufficient information. The number is on the responsibility of the importer and is required both from the importer and, where applicable, from the importer’s representative in customs declarations. For this reason, we ask for the EORI number at the time of customs clearance.
If your company is planning to import, make sure you have a valid EORI number. Please note that it may take a few days for the Customs to issue the number.
