What Is an EORI Number?
An EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) number is a unique identifier required for companies that import or export goods outside the European Union. If your Bulgarian company engages in international trade with non-EU countries, this number is mandatory when dealing with customs authorities.
Who Needs an EORI Number?
Your company needs an EORI if you:
- Import goods into the EU from third countries
- Export goods from the EU to countries outside the union
Important: This requirement applies even if your company is not VAT registered.
Required Documents
Before submitting your application, prepare the following:
- Company registration certificate from the Commercial Register
- Company UIC/BULSTAT number
- VAT certificate (if applicable)
- EORI application form (provided by the customs office)
- Power of attorney, if the application is submitted by another person
How to Apply
- Online: Through the electronic portal of the Bulgarian Customs Agency using a qualified electronic signature.
- In person: At the relevant customs office.
Processing usually takes 1 to 3 business days. Once approved, your EORI number will be sent electronically.
Can a Customs Agent Apply for You?
Yes — a customs agent can submit the application on your behalf. However, your company remains responsible for the accuracy of the provided information.
