  • Import and export declarations.
  • Transit procedures and related messages.
  • Authorisations, decisions, and compliance interactions with customs administrations.

Documents and data flows

Depending on the process, an EORI identifier may be used in electronic messaging, in administrative references, and in documentation exchanged between operators, representatives, and authorities.
