Get your EU EORI number

If the Netherlands is the first EU country your goods enter, your carrier will need an EU EORI number to clear them through customs.

We prepare your application, submit it to Dutch Customs and answer any questions they come back with.

You only need one EU EORI number, which is valid across all 27 EU member states. Later, if your goods move elsewhere in Europe, the same number remains valid.

Your company's details, one named signatory, your certificate of incorporation, and a trade-register or Chamber of Commerce extract dated within the last 6 months.
Mostly the Dutch form itself - it hinges on one permanent-establishment question, and wants a trade-register extract dated within six months, with queries coming back in Dutch.
