EORI Number

Options
I must be missing something.
When I do my Royal Mail postage label I am able to put on the Tariff code but not my EORI number although when I print the label there is a box for it so I write it in but why can't it type it?

    Go to >settings >trading names Click on your trading name. Enter EORI number. Hope this helps,

    I had a look under settings in my Royal Mail account but can't see anywhere to add it.

    Click and drop? Or something else?

    Not sure what it's called, I just do it online on the royal mail website and take it to the post office, but it's the same on eBay.

    I'm sorry, I suppose it is click and drop, I do it on the RM website and I take it to the post office

    Would you describe yourself as a retail customer of Royal Mail considering you're not using an account to log into click and drop? And if so, Royal Mail's own guidance, you typically don't need an EORI number if you're moving goods that are:
    • Not controlled goods (e.g., weapons, certain chemicals).

    • For personal use only (gifts, personal items, etc.).

    Maybe I will set up an account then, and see what happens. Thank you.
    It's not really a problem to write it in but as there is a box I couldn't see why it didn't come up for me to type it in.
