EXPORT REQUIREMENTS
We have been advised that all artwork being exported from the United Kingdom will require an EORI number to be provided to the courier, in order to facilitate the shipment without hindrance. The processing time for this is typically 3 – 5 days, so please schedule your courier pickup to allow the time needed.
- To obtain more information about the required EORI number, please use the helpful guide linked here: https://www.gov.uk/eori
- The EORI application form can be found here: https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/shortforms/form/EORIContact
If you need additional time to prepare for this, please let us know directly through this email chain, and we will adjust your pickup arrangements for you. Once you have obtained the EORI number, you may hand write the EORI number on the commercial invoice, if you’d like.
