Getting an EORI number..

[mrka]

EDIT - I have EORI now..
I am getting goods sent to UK, from China, the company is registered at a digital address.. I need goods delivering to my home address. Do I need to add anything on the invoice to address this?

Hi
An EORI is just an importer/ exporter registration number so absolutely nothing to do with where you want the goods delivered.
You do realise that a company registered at a virtual address won’t necessarily be regarded as a real UK company as far as customs and the tax authorities are concerned.

Not uncommon to have an "invoice" address and a "delivery" address, obviously you need to be clear with the sender where you want items delivered too

Obviously I will add a deliverable address on, but do I need to put anything on the invoice with goods?
The sender will obvoulsy put the Eori on and no dount the Ltd company name on but anything else need to go on the invoice - such as to address the different postal address to the company registered address?

Would I need to still put the comapny registered address, and then postal address??

There is plenty of information on what needs to be on a commercial invoice for customs available if you run a google search. Your seller should be aware of this surely.
Why do you say the Chinese seller will obviously add the EORI. As I have said previously the EORI is just a registration number used in the UK only. The only party that needs that is your clearance agent or whoever is doing the UK customs declaration
.It isn’t a requirement on an invoice. It could be added but it’s not a requirement .
The shipper or carrier may also have their own requirements.

on the customs invoice you might have 2 positions "Invoice to" and "Ship to".

FF will ask you for import clearance instructions so this is the moment you need to put your EORI/VAT numbers and CPC code as well as HS codes.

1. Details of the final recipient of the goods​

   Also known as “the consignee”. If this is the same as your buyer, you don’t need to add it.

hope this helps
