Hi everyone,
We are struggling with the EORI application for our client.
HMRC requires current shipment information.. which we cannot have until we have the EORI number. We tried using a future date and an assumed value for a shipment, but they kicked the application back wanting an exact waybill number.
So, we are stuck. HOW is anyone obtaining an EORI number prior to shipment so that they can ship?

Form C220?
Last time I did this (about a year ago) I submitted form C220 via email to HMRC from their website. The form only asked for basic details of the VAT registration number. No shipment details etc.
Once I had submitted my email I got a confirmation email back within a couple of days confirming the EORI number had been registered.
Have things changed or haven't you tried sending the form by email?
Complete this form
Complete the attached and hey presto a couple of days you have a legitimate EORI number which will be GB vat number 000
