Move goods across the UK border —
with an EORI that works.
No EORI means your shipment sits at UK customs. Bizvee files your GB EORI (and XI if you touch Northern Ireland), links it to your VAT and CDS records, and hands your freight forwarder a number that clears first time. £49 flat.

Everything in one flat fee.
GB EORI application filed with HMRC
Full EORI registration prepared and submitted, cross-referenced against your Companies House and VAT records so it clears on the first pass.
XI EORI for Northern Ireland trade
If your goods move between GB and NI, we file the additional XI EORI at no extra cost — customs won't clear NI shipments without it.
VAT & CDS linkage
Your EORI is linked to your VAT number and the Customs Declaration Service (CDS) so freight forwarders can lodge declarations under your name.
Non-UK importers welcome
Overseas businesses selling into the UK also need a GB EORI. We handle non-resident applications with the correct HMRC evidence pack.
Delivered in hours, not weeks
HMRC usually issues GB EORIs within 3 working days — many clear same-day. We monitor the portal continuously and forward your number the moment it lands.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Who needs an EORI?+
Anyone moving goods commercially between the UK and any other country — including EU. Without it, UK customs will not clear your shipment and freight forwarders can't file declarations on your behalf.
GB EORI vs XI EORI — which do I need?+
GB EORI is for moving goods to/from Great Britain. XI EORI is only needed if you move goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. We include XI free where the trade profile requires it.
How long does HMRC take?+
Most GB EORI applications clear within 3 working days — some in hours. Non-resident applications can take a week or two. We monitor daily and chase HMRC if there's a delay.
Do I need to be VAT registered first?+
No. You can hold an EORI without being VAT-registered. If you're both, we link the two so freight paperwork flows cleanly.
I'm a non-UK company selling into the UK — can I still register?+
Yes. Overseas sellers importing into the UK (including Amazon FBA sellers) must hold a GB EORI. We handle the non-resident file as part of the flat £49.
