Traders that do not have this number are advised to apply for an EORI number beginning with GB as soon as they can.
Traders that sign up to the TSS prior to 23 November 2020 will automatically be allocated with an EORI number starting with XI. Those who do not sign up by this date may be required to make a separate application for an EORI number beginning with XI. The TSS is available to traders, intermediaries and carriers moving goods to and from Northern Ireland. Upon registering for the TSS, traders will be granted access to free information and training from the Northern Ireland Customs & Trade Academy.
HMRC points out that preparations for the end of the transition period should be carried out as soon as possible.

Social security coordination arrangements between the UK and the EU from January 2021 16 November 2020
New guidance has been published, which details what the social coordination arrangements between the UK and the EU will be under the EU Withdrawal Agreement from 1 January 2021.
The guidance is aimed at those who work in the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and the Department of Health and Social Care. It should be used from 1 January 2021 upon consideration of an application for a social security benefit or pension from:
• A UK national living in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland • An EEA or Swiss national living in the UK
Guidance is split into three chapters:
• Chapter one – discusses the determination of those who are covered by the provisions of the social security coordination Title of the Withdrawal Agreement, and determining their rights under these provisions • Chapter two – discusses the citizens’ rights provisions in Part Two of the Withdrawal Agreement as they relate to social security coordination and provides examples as an aid to interpretation • Chapter three – gives a summary of the EU Regulations on social security coordination to assist with comprehension of the guidance on implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement
The Withdrawal Agreement can also be accessed in full here.
