Will I need to have a legal entity at destination to act as importer of record?
In some cases, you do not need to have a legal entity at destination and can be cleared under a foreign Power of Attorney which allows us to act on your behalf to customs clear the goods without needing a company there. However, there are most EU countries that do require a company to be registered with an EORI & VAT number, which would need to be set up prior to you sending goods.
