2013 Customs Update:

EORI Registration compulsory for all Import to & Exports from EU

All VAT-registered exporters and importers located in the European Union need to have a valid EORI-number (Economic Operators Registration and Identification). This is necessary for all companies / persons holding a national VAT-registration. Please note it is not required for private/individual persons.

The EORI number is required when making customs declarations for importing or exporting goods, including live horses or other livestock. Companies who do not hold a valid EORI registration yet, can no longer act as importer or exporter.

If you do not have a valid EORI number yet, it is important to register at once with your national tax authority, otherwise your horse(s) will be held by customs at the border.

Further information about the registration can be found on website listed below:
