New Requirements For NI Shipments

With immediate effect, all companies transporting goods from the UK to Northern Ireland are now required to have both a GB and XI EORI Number.

Unfortunately, Simarco are unable to accept bookings unless customers provide both numbers, since the government’s Trader Support Service (TSS) will no longer allow the movement of goods without them.

Previously, there had been an option to manually enter company address information, which is no longer available. Businesses transporting goods to Northern Ireland should be aware of the these requirements and take action should they not have the appropriate EORI numbers.

To comply, you can register for your GB and XI EORI numbers online at https://www.gov.uk/eori/apply-for-eori

Official help and guidance is available online at https://www.gov.uk/eori/eori-northern-ireland

If customers are unsure whether they comply with the newest requirements, then please do not hesitate to contact a member of the team for more information.

Simarco operate an extensive range of road freight services between the UK and both Northern and Southern Ireland, please check out our European Road Transport page HERE or email sales@simarco.com.
