Cost, validity and processing time

The EORI number is free — Hungarian National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) does not charge for issuing it.
It is valid EU-wide. Once any member state has issued your EORI, you do not need another one to declare goods in other EU countries.
A business established outside the EU registers in the member state where it first lodges a customs declaration or appoints a representative — not necessarily Hungary.
Processing normally takes a few working days, though incomplete applications are the most common cause of delay.
