As of 19 August 2010, an EORI number is required for all imports and exports to clear customs in Romania.

The Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number was introduced by the European Commission in July 2009 to enhance security. This unique identification number should be used by everyone in the European Union (EU) currently having their goods shipped.

This applies to all business operators and individuals in their private capacities. The EORI number must be used in all electronic communications with customs offices and other government departments and agencies. This number is valid in all EU member states and replaces all customs identification numbers, including the TIN (Traders Identification Number).

How do you obtain an EORI number?
All business operators and private individuals already established in the EU will be registered within their respective EU member states. All business operators and private individuals not established in the EU must obtain the EORI number from the authorities in the respective EU member states wherein they operate/reside.

AGS Bucharest can assist with obtaining this number by determining the country in which to apply, including the preparation of the forms and collection of information required for the application and registration process.

If you require any assistance in this regard or have additional questions, please contact the branch manager at AGS Bucharest, Gratiela Lascu.
