EORI SIREN: implementation on 1 January 2026

EORI format update

Please be advised that the EORI numbers in France will change on 1 January 2026. (The EORI number corresponds to your European customs identifier).

A new format based on the SIREN will come into force next year.

At present, EORI numbers are composed on the basis of the SIRET of each establishment: FR + 14 digits of the SIRET.

All French importers/exporters still have a few months to apply for the new EORI SIREN, which will consist of FR + 9 digits.

This new format will be compulsory from 1 January 2026 in order to import or export goods.

If you have not yet made your request, log on to the French Customs website: https://www.douane.gouv.fr/
