<p>At present traders who trade with the rest of the world, (but not including the
EU) require an EORI number. In the event the UK leaves the EU without a deal UK traders
that only trade with the EU will need an EORI number. As part of no deal planning,
HMRC is encouraging these EU-only traders to register for an EORI with HMRC.</p><p>
</p><p>HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) estimated that in 2017 there were 144,000 VAT-registered
traders that only traded with the EU. A separate estimate indicates there are around
100,000 non VAT-registered traders that trade only with the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Latest
HMRC validated data show that between 1 December 2018 and 29 March 2019, which covers
the period from the start of the business readiness campaign, there were more than
73,000 registrations for an EORI.</p><p> </p><p>Registering for an EORI number is
free and very quick – it currently takes around 10 minutes.</p>
