What is the impact on submitting traders/paying agents?
If you are a submitting trader/paying agent with branches who: • also acts as an agent to submit declarations on behalf of others • submits declarations for your own business the following applies: • you need to acquire an EORI number for your parent company/head office if your details are required in box 2, 8 or 14 of the customs declaration • however you may continue to use your existing badge/role (to submit declarations) as well as access existing FAS accounts It should be noted that this concession does not apply to any new badges/roles which are set up on CHIEF (Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight) after 1 April 2009 which will only be set up against an EORI number.
