Further to last year's ECJU Notice to Exporters Update (2021/13) confirming that the exporter's EORI must be included in the business organisation details in SPIRE, a subsequent reminder has been issued.

This confirms that the mandating of EORIs for SIEL's, OIELs and Global Project applications together with Open Licence registrations in SPIRE will commence on 5/9/22.


The mandatory EORI requirement on SPIRE (12 digits without country prefix) applies to applications for export control licences where a declaration is made to HMRC’s Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight (CHIEF) or the new Customs Declaration Service (CDS) replacing CHIEF.
