EIDR (Entry In Declarant's Records)

When creating a GMR (Goods Movement Reference) for goods entering the UK, your carrier will require one of the following (or a combination of these if multiple consignments):-

• Import Entry MRN (Movement Reference Number)
• Transit document MRN
• EIDR approved EORI number
• ATA (Admission Temporaire) Carnet / TIR (Transports Internationaux Routiers) - numbers and physical certificates

For non-controlled goods, our EIDR approved EORI number can be used in place of an import entry MRN on a GMR. Providing you have been granted specific confirmation from us, there is no need to add the import entry number. You only need our approved EORI number. Send load information to us so we can validate and if all is in order, we will issue authorisation to use our EIDR approval.

It literally takes minutes and is much smoother at the border. Your carrier will thank you!

The Entry in Declarant’s Records (EIDR) is a simplified customs declaration process under the Simplified Customs Declaration Processes (SCDP), implemented pre-Brexit with the UK's Union Customs Code (UCC). It enables traders to release goods immediately at the border by recording the declaration in their own records, while full customs data is submitted later via a supplementary declaration.
