CDS and EORI's....... a reminder

CHIEF

The HMRC CHIEF system will accept an EU EORI.

But only if accompanied by the full name and address.


THE IMPORTANT PART from the 1st October 2022 (or if you are using CDS already)


CDS

The Customs Declaration Service will not accept any non-GB EORI.

This applies to all data elements in CDS that might require the input of an EORI.

For example, DE 3/39 – Holder of the Authorisation.
