EORI Registration compulsory

for all import to & exports from EU countries

All VAT-registered exporters and importers located in the European Union need to have a valid �EORI�-number (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) since a few weeks. This is necessary for all companies / people holding a national VAT-registration. Please note it is not required for private/individual persons. The EORI number is required when making customs declarations for importing or exporting goods, including live horses or other livestock. Companies who do not hold a valid EORI registration yet, can no longer act as importer or exporter. If you should not have a valid EORI number yet, it is important to register at once with your national tax authority, otherwise your horse(s) will be held by customs at the border. Further information about the registration can be found on website listed below, where you need to select your home EU-country: German clients can find more information on the website of German customs: http://www.zoll.de/english_version/c0_registration_numbers/index.html If you would have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
