If the UK leaves the EU with no deal on the 29 March 2019 and your business imports or exports goods with the EU, you will need to apply for an Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number.  It can take 3 days to get a UK issued EORI number so the advice is to apply for this now.

The EORI number will allow you to:

  • Trade goods into or out of the UK
  • Submit declarations using software
  • Apply to be authorised for customs simplifications and procedures

This link on the GOV.UK website will provide you with more information.
