EORI - Economic Operators Registration and Identification
The EORI system is established in order to implement the security measures introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 648/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council. They will be more effective if the persons concerned can be identified by a common number that is unique to each individual and valid throughout the Community. Traders have consistently been calling for this ever since mandatory identification codes for traders were introduced by Regulation 2286/2003.
Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) status is granted by EU States to economic operators. AEO status can be granted to any economic operator established in the EU that meets the following common criteria stipulated in customs law.
EORI - Economic Operators Registration and Identification
The EORI system is established in order to implement the security measures introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 648/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council. They will be more effective if the persons concerned can be identified by a common number that is unique to each individual and valid throughout the Community. Traders have consistently been calling for this ever since mandatory identification codes for traders were introduced by Regulation 2286/2003.
An EORI number is a unique number throughout the European Community, assigned by a customs authority or designated authority or authorities in a Member State to economic operators and other persons in accordance with the rules laid down in Part I, Title I, Chapter 6 of the CCIP. The provisions on the EORI number neither limits nor undermines the rights and obligations derived from rules governing the requirement to register for, and obtain, any identification number that may be required by individual Member States in fields other than customs, such as taxation or statistics.
By registering, for customs purposes, in one Member State, operators are able to obtain an EORI number that is valid throughout the Community. Obviously, in order to benefit fully from this reform, holders must use the EORI number - once it has been assigned - in all communications with any EC customs authorities where a customs identifier is required.
Customs authorities in the EC must have easy and reliable access to operators' registration and identification data. In order to ensure this, a central electronic system will be developed for storing data on the registration of economic operators and other persons and for exchanging data on EORI numbers between customs authorities. This central system will hold data listed in Annex 38d that is currently stored in each national system in the Member States.
You can find out here if an EORI number has already been generated for your company.
Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) status is granted by EU States to economic operators. AEO status can be granted to any economic operator established in the EU that meets the following common criteria stipulated in customs law.
- An appropriate record of compliance with customs requirements;
- A satisfactory system of managing commercial and, where appropriate, transport records, which allows appropriate customs controls;
- Proven financial solvency;
- Where applicable, appropriate security and safety standards.
Economic operators who wish to apply for AEO status should apply to an AEO competent customs authority.
Authorized Economic Operators benefit both from simplifications provided for by the customs rules and/or facilitation with regard to customs controls related to security and safety, according the type of certificate they obtain.
Economic operators can apply for an AEO status either to have easier access to customs simplifications or to be in a more favorable position to comply with the new security requirements. Under the security framework, which has been applicable since 1 July 2009, economic operators have to submit pre-arrival and pre-departure information on goods entering or leaving the EU. The security type of AEO certificate and the combined one allow their holders to benefit from facilitations with regard to the new customs controls relating to security.
