EORI number

glad you got it sorted JC

Let’s not speak too soon! All that I’ve got sorted is that the Frog and Rosbif govs say I don’t need one. That suits me but maybe not the UK firm. Maybe they know something I don’t know! Imagine the pallet arriving at the jolly ol’ douane and a bad hair day person says…Nah.

you dont need a company name to have an EORI - anyone can get one.

Hmmm.

and it may prove beneficial if you frequently buy from the UK.

Hmmmer.

my UK EORI number is a personal one.

AAAH! You have a personal, to wit non-business one??!!

yes I buy goods for work through it too, but also anything I need to have in the UK. im not uk VAT registered, so just a ‘normal’ person buying online. although my wife may argue that statement !

Well, let’s not get into arguments with her …or any woman. We know who’ll win.

Right, so just for the fun of it, and instead of doing some work, I’ll try TRY to apply for one. First I’ll try from the UK side – in English, wot. I hope. I’ll feed back in case others need it. I can predict questions for which I have no answers – like Name of company, etc., which I’ll leave blank. They’ll be red asterisk so I’ll invent something… or stop.
