EU Parcels and Tax ID

[shakey5]

Here in Italy it's quite usual to be asked for your codice fiscale, which is used commonly as an ID check. The translation would be your NI number.

Normally your surname is entered before Christian name, hence Mr Christopher.

Thanks 'our man in Italy',
The "Mr Christopher" bit was from UK HMRC, but maybe a certain division?
I have noticed that most EU buyers postal addresses have the surname first.

Chris - why dont you just make up a number since no one seems to know anything about it ?

It's already been sent with no number Peter.
HMRC say no IN number needed for imports.
I didn't have time to tell the seller what HMRC said before he'd decided to send it with no number.
I'll see what happens.
