Frequently asked questions
EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) is a unique identification number required for customs interactions. NI businesses receive numbers with the XI prefix, GB businesses with the GB prefix.
The XI prefix identifies Northern Ireland in EU customs systems. NI businesses operate in the EU customs territory for goods, so they need a number recognised by EU systems - hence XI, not GB.
The reference code is XIEORI01. The unit is based in Cardiff and issues EORI numbers for Northern Ireland businesses.
An NI business may need both - XI EORI for trade as part of the EU customs territory and GB EORI for trade within the UK. This depends on the type of activity and trade directions.
