If your suits clear customs in the EU or the UK, the importing business needs an EORI number, and the simplest way to keep the shipping documents consistent is to write that number on the purchase order next to the consignee details, so the commercial invoice and packing list can carry it where your broker asks — the factory does not issue it and cannot guess it. The European Commission's EORI page says an EORI number is mandatory for customs operations in the EU customs territory, such as import, export and transit, and gives its format as a 2-letter country code followed by up to 15 alphanumeric characters; a person holds one valid EORI number at a time, and the number has no expiry date. For goods moving between Great Britain and other countries, GOV.UK explains who needs a UK EORI number.

What should a buyer know about the EORI before a suit shipment?
- Who holds it: The importing business, or the person it appoints to deal with customs — Your broker confirms
- EU format: 2-letter country code + up to 15 alphanumeric characters — Check it on the Commission's validation service
- UK: Needed for moving goods between Great Britain and other countries — See GOV.UK guidance
- Where it goes: PO consignee block; commercial invoice and packing list where your broker asks — See commercial invoice fields
- Who supplies it: You, the importer — The factory copies it from your PO
- Expiry: EU EORI numbers have no expiry date — They can be invalidated on request or when trading ends
Does a tailor shop receiving one MTM suit need an EORI?
- The EU ties the number to customs operations; GOV.UK says it is not needed for goods that are not controlled and are for personal use, which is not the case for a shop importing for sale.
- For a courier parcel, ask your courier which number it needs on the declaration.
- Shipping direct to a client under your label raises the same question; see direct-to-client shipping.
Which other details travel with the EORI?
- The consignee name and address exactly as on the PO.
- The fibre content on the label, in the form EU rules expect; see EU fibre names.
- Your broker's contact, so documents can be checked before dispatch.
Where does this sit on the clock?
Sample 7–14 days and production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked. Production days are not delivery days. Send the EORI with the PO, so the documents are drafted with it before the goods leave.
