Hello, I have one case, importer is Italy company which has GB EORI, VAT number and registered postponed account. In this case, when importer is VAT payer in UK, but it is Italy's company declarant should apply it as direct or indirect representative?

If a business is not established in the UK they must have an indirect customs representative. A GB EORI and GB VAT number does not make a business established in the UK. A customs representative cannot act as a direct representative for an overseas company.
