HMRC publish two customs technical handbooks for importers/exporters: EORI and safety & security declarations

The Joint Customs Consultative Committee has advised its stakeholders of two new technical handbooks for importers and exporters:

On 31 January 2025, guidance on GOV.UK was updated to fully reflect the new Safety & Security requirements. Alongside this guidance, the new Safety & Security Customs Technical Handbook was also published: Safety and security declarations - Guidance

The EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) Customs Technical Handbook has also been published: Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI)

The CIOT provided feedback on the original draft which was largely implemented.

If you have feedback on either handbook, let us know at [email protected]
