EORI

The EORI is a number, unique to the European Union, assigned by the customs authority in a Member State to economic agents (companies), or individuals. When registering for customs purposes in a Member State, an Economic Operator is able to obtain an EORI number valid throughout the European Union. 
For a company to obtain its EORI number, it must be requested in the Member State where it will carry out its first import or export. The State is usually the country of origin. Once the EORI identification is obtained, it will be valid for all the member states in the European Union.

In the event that your company is not registered in Spain, but nevertheless, has a tax representative or has obtained a VAT number in Spain, you also need the EORI identification, which will be identical to the one obtained in your country of origin and linked to the NIF obtained in Spain. Finally, you must request this link in Customs.
How to get a EORI number

In the case of Spanish companies, whose NIF starts with A or B, the VAT NIF will coincide with their EORI number. The Spanish Administration has registered the vast majority of applicants in the EORI database, and the process is automatic at the time of dispatch to legal entities that are classified as a Limited Company or Limited Partnership. However, it may happen that there are Spanish NIFs that do not have EORI, so it is recommended to consult the validity of the Spanish EORI on the official website of the European Union.

DEADLINE FOR THE EORI TO BE ACTIVE

After applying and registering with the Tax Agency, you must wait for approximately 48 hours until it is activated and the merchandise can be dispatched.
