EORI numbers are not mandatory for ENS, in which case the company name/address/postal code/city/country is mandatory for shipper & consignee (or notify in case of to order shipment) Every “legal person” (company) that has had any dealings with EU customs in the past has been provided with an EORI number. EORI is a new reference number. Any party that has an EORI number should provide this to the carrier as it will identify the customer with customs during risk assessment. A party with EORI = party known to customs A party without EORI = unknown to customs and thus results in a higher risk score during risk assessment.
