The EORI team will not grant EORI numbers via email, you will need to be apply via Gov.UK.

Hey Paul, I can imagine how frustrating and stressful this situation must be for you, especially for a small business where every shipment counts. I've faced similar bureaucratic delays in the past, and it's never easy. Persistence: Continue calling the EORI team, even multiple times a day if you have to. Try calling right when they open as this might be a less busy time. Alternative Contacts: Do they have different contact numbers or departments? Sometimes reaching out to a related department can redirect you to the right person or department that can assist. Official Complaint: Consider raising an official complaint if they have such a mechanism. This often escalates the issue and gets more immediate attention. Broker or Customs Expert: As a temporary solution, you might want to contact a customs broker or expert who might have insider knowledge or contacts that can expedite the process. Social Media & Public Relations: Depending on your comfort level, a post on social media platforms highlighting your plight can sometimes get a quicker response, especially if it garners a lot of attention or sympathy. Local MP: In extreme cases, contacting your local Member of Parliament or representative about the issue might help. They often have contacts or ways to escalate matters that average citizens don't. Be Prepared: When you do get in touch with them, have all your documentation and details ready, so you can provide them with all the information they need immediately. I genuinely hope your issue gets resolved soon, and your goods are released from Felixstowe. These situations are incredibly challenging, but remember, you're not alone – many businesses face similar hurdles, and with persistence, they overcome them. Stay strong and best of luck with your business, Paul! Warm regards, Ahmad

"There is a problem. Your business details have not been found. Check that your details are correct and try again." Despite verifying that our company details are correct as per the Companies House register and entering our Corporation Tax Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) accurately, we were unable to proceed with the online application. To ensure we can successfully obtain our EORI number, we seek assistance in resolving this matter. If there is a specific error in our details that we need to correct or a particular step we may have overlooked, please advise us accordingly. After so many emails and calls still no help with getting EORI Number for non VAT limited company
