With the Brexit deadline of 29 March 2019 now less than six weeks away, the chances of a ‘no deal’ Brexit are increasing.
In the event of a ‘no deal’, you will want to ensure you can continue trading in the European Union from the 30 March 2019. This will only be possible if you have an EORI number.
Please apply for your EORI from HM Revenue & Customs at your earliest opportunity. The short application can be made online using the link, which can be found on the GOV.UK page "Get a UK EORI number to trade within the EU"
Currently, it takes three days for a UK issued EORI number. However, you should apply now as delays are expected with the deadline approaching.
