As from Monday 25 January 2021, the economic operators established in the EU may apply electronically to become a registered exporter, using the REX Trader Portal.

Economic operators will access the Trader Portal through UUM&DS. Then, economic operators being authenticated with their UUM&DS credentials in the REX Trader Portal and being able to apply electronically, it is no more necessary that they send the signed paper application form to the customs authorities. Based on the electronic request received from the economic operators, then the customs authorities in the EU Member States will perform the registration and assign the REX number.

The REX Trader Portal is accessible from the EU Customs Trader Portal.

Exporters who need a REX number to export under tariff preference to the UK under the EU-UK TCA may already use the REX Trader Portal to apply for their registration.

Economic operators concerned may contact the customs authorities in the Member State in which they are established for further information.
