<p>The current UK registration process for non-VAT registered traders to obtain an
Economic Operator Registration Identification scheme number (EORI) takes on average
19 hours for the EORI number to be issued and ready for use. Applicants are advised
to allow 3 working days for an EORI to be granted. This timescale is based on HM Revenue
and Customs (HMRC) being provided with all the information necessary on the application
form and this information being validated successfully. The application form is accessed
through the Gov.uk web pages, which hosts all the information related to Customs activities,
and is available here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/economic-operator-registration-and-identification-scheme-supporting-guidance.</p><p>
</p><p>HMRC is also developing a new Customs Declaration Service which should significantly
reduce the time taken to finalise an application for an EORI.</p><p> </p>
