An EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification) number is how the European Union (EU) identifies business entities. All businesses and people wishing to import into or export out of the EU must use the the number as an identification number in all customs procedures when exchanging information with Customs administrations. Traders who are only involved in intra-EU trade do not generally need such a number. The EORI number is an identification number that is used across the EU in a uniform manner.
