Informal and comprehensive human-readable definition of a concept. Description	The EU Customs Office Reference Number (often referred to as the Customs Office Identifier or COI) is a unique identifier assigned to customs offices within the European Union. These offices are designated locations where customs formalities, such as import and export declarations, customs clearances, and goods inspections, are conducted. Each customs office has a specific reference number that helps to identify it within the EU’s customs systems. This number is crucial for various customs procedures, including the submission of customs declarations, transit documentation, and regulatory compliance checks. It ensures the accurate routing of documentation and facilitates the efficient handling of goods moving across EU borders. These identifiers are part of the EU’s effort to streamline customs operations, enhance traceability, and ensure compliance with EU customs regulations, thus supporting both the security of supply chains and the efficient movement of goods within the internal market.
