answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>UK traders that only trade with the EU will need an EORI number in the event the UK leaves the EU without a deal. HMRC estimated that in 2017 there were 144,000 VAT-registered traders that only traded with the EU. A separate estimate indicates there are approximately 100,000 non VAT-registered traders that trade only with the EU.

Providing numbers for some traders that needed it, but not all, would send mixed messages about whether it was required. Furthermore, the VAT registration details for a trader can be different from the trading entity that needs an EORI number, meaning automated registration could result in registering the wrong entity.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has focused on ensuring the process of applying for an EORI is free and very quick, it currently takes around 10 minutes. The Government has also recently announced temporary simplified procedures to make importing and exporting easier. To register for these simplifications, traders will need a UK EORI number.
