New code delayed in customs

Since July, came into force unique identification code – the so-called. EORI number, which is binding on individuals and companies engaged in customs procedures, announced by the Customs Agency.
EORI-number is introduced because of an EU directive and its purpose is to facilitate the customs service. The code is unique for each firm and true in all countries of the EC. Although its purpose is to serve companies, such code must be taken and people who receive packages and they should be exempt from customs. The issue of so-called. permanent code, which applies to all customs operations of a company takes up to five working days, the ordinance states. But if you have a parcel and want to release it immediately, you may obtain a so-called. ad-hoc number that is just for her and received the same day. Further delay comes from the translation of amounts owed to the Treasury, which must be obtained in the customs information system.
