Get an EORI number for Belgium

The EORI Cell of the Customs and Excise Administration, part of the Federal Public Service (FPS) Finance. Businesses fill in an application form and send it to the EORI Cell by email or post.

A Belgian company's EORI number is BE followed by its 10-digit enterprise number from the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises.

A company outside the EU registers in the EU country where it carries out its first customs operation. If that's Belgium, it applies to the EORI Cell with an extract from its home country's commercial register, either the original or a certified copy.

If your first EU shipment goes through another country, that country issues the number instead, and you use it in Belgium too.

Start an application for Belgium. Before the form, we ask three quick questions: where your company is based, whether you already have an EU EORI number, and where your goods will first be cleared.

If Belgium fits, we prepare your application for Belgian Customs and Excise (FPS Finance). If another EU country fits better, for example because your goods are first cleared in the Netherlands, we explain why before anything is filed, and nothing changes without your OK.

You pay only once the number is issued.
