Declare your goods to the German customs

The EORI Number (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) is allocated exclusively in the EU and is mandatory for customs clearance and the trade with and between European countries. The task of EORI is the identification of economic operators towards the customs administration. Every exporter or importer should apply for the EORI Number. For exporting or importing, this document is absolutely mandatory for customs clearance. When trading with third countries, the participants of said country will also need EORI. 

Companies wishing to declare exports or imports to customs or apply for export permits from the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (Bundesamt für Wirtschaft und Ausfuhrkontrolle - BAFA) require an EORI number from the very first export or import transaction.
