TTTC4150 - Restriction on re-application for an economic operator ID

A person subject to a deactivation notice must not apply for an economic operator identifier code during the period of deactivation set out in that notice.

In cases where a person has acted contrary to that restriction and has obtained an economic operator identifier code, HMRC may exercise the discretion set out in Article 15(4) of the Commission Implementing Regulation without the conditions referred to in regulation 18 of The Tobacco Products (Traceability and Security Features) Regulations 2019 being met. This allows Member States to require the ID issuer to deactivate an EOID.
