  • Please add on each invoice for each shipment the EORI number of the importer of companies/enterprises located in the European Union.
  • In case you create the invoices, the EORI number needs to be added in the address field of the receiver at “EORI Number”.
  • In case there is no EORI number on the invoice, the shipment has to be held in customs clearance at the destination to ask the importer.

This will delay the delivery for at least 24 hours.

We therefore ask you to always note the EORI number on the invoice.
