In my experience all orders to UK have one number, to EU countries there is another
number, to all other countries theres no number. Maybe the UK and EU numbers
have different names, but for our postal service they use 'IOSS' for
both.

They are VAT registration numbers.

OSS = One-stop-shop (I = Import): BL only needs one registration for all EU.

That was set up before Brexit, so UK uses the same scheme… but is not in EU anymore,
so BL needs a UK VAT ID.

IIUC, UK made a special CN-22A with a ‘VAT ID’ (or something similar) field added,
and they don’t care much if it’s sent electronically, while EU wants it electronically
and not written on the package. *sigh*


  ... Meaning, as far as I know there are 3 different choices, and the numbers
might change without notice.

Doubtful but not impossible.


  Ive created a solution which picks the IOSS number based on shipping country(which
I get from API), but solution isnt bulletproof, and I Will have to make my own
mapping for all countries and also keep it updated.

And we don’t know yet how it will work for Canada.

And maybe Norway will be added one day (but then, as you live there, you don’t
export to Norway ).

Thanks for your input 😀 that's all good reasons for adding it to the api
I wonder how lager stores handle it 🤔
