EORI Numbers: You must provide your Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number to your Evri account manager if you ship internationally.

Do not add the EORI number to the Customs details of the shipment in ShipEngine.

Label Requirements
-
Test Labels: Evri will provide you with a pre-determined list of addresses to use to create test labels. Send the test labels to our support team, and we will submit them to Evri for approval. We will notify you when the test labels are approved and you can start shipping!
-
Domestic Requirements: All domestic Evri shipments must have carrier insurance added with an insured value that is the same as the Order Total value.
Contact Evri to verify whether parcel insurance is part of your contract, as some Evri plans don't require insurance value information. If parcel insurance is in your contract, Evri requires the parcel value to properly validate insurance claims.

Error: For domestic shipments, insurance amount must be set to the parcel's value. |

See Adding Insurance to a Shipment in our developer docs for more details. |
|
Error: Evri requires you to set up your EORI number with your Evri accounts manager. Please remove all tax identifiers from this shipment |
What it means: You will receive this error if you add your EORI number to Evri shipments in ShipEngine. What to do: Instead, you must provide your EORI number to your Evri account representative. It will then print on the appropriate documents provided through ShipEngine. |
