Data kept in the EORI database

The Customs Administration will ensure that your EORI number and
other company information is entered into the EORI database of the
European Commission. The information in question is listed below.
The customs authorities of the member states of the Union can
consult this database to verify whether an EORI number does exist.
Other economic operators can also consult this database to verify
whether your EORI number exists. In that case, your name and
address data might be displayed, but only if you have given your
consent in writing for that purpose. You can do this by completing
and returning this statement.
RSIN/BSN
RSIN is the abbreviation of Rechtspersonen en Samenwerkingsverbanden
Informatienummer. Upon registration at the KVK (Netherlands
Chamber of Commerce), all Dutch legal entities such as BVs,
associations and foundations, VOFs and maatschappen receive a
KvK number as well as an RSIN. You can find this number on
your KVK extract.
One-man companies do not receive an RSIN. They enter their
BSN number (burgerservicenummer or citizen service number)
at question 1d.
