Codes and Identifiers

The correct identification of a party in the supply chain is key for compliance and also the correct allocation of data, to facilitate this we promote the use of identity that is in use for the domain and the region or from an international code list.

EORI Number to Identify the Shipper and Consignee

An EORI number – which stands for an Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number – is a unique ID code used to track and register customs information.

Traqa use this to identify the Shipper of the material, in the absence of this you will use a Traqa assigned id prefixed with TQ.

UK EORI must start with 'GB', https://www.gov.uk/check-eori-number

EU EORI Checker https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/dds2/eos/eori_validation.jsp?Lang=en

We also recommend the use of the EU EORI number for Consignee's located in Europe, for other locations you can provide the Name and Address without the identifier, or use an identification scheme thats agreed with Traqa.
