EORI number on the receiver and importer party

A new optional attributes entry, eori, is now supported on the receiver and importer parties for PostNord shipments that require customs. It lets you declare the buyer's EORI number, and it is sent on to the carrier with the customs documentation.

{
  "parties": [
    {
      "type": "receiver",
      "name": "Example Ltd",
      "address1": "10 Downing Street",
      "postal_code": "SW1A 2AA",
      "city": "London",
      "country_code": "GB",
      "attributes": [
        {
          "name": "eori",
          "value": "GB123456789000"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

The value can be at most 35 characters - shipments declaring a longer one are rejected. On the receiver it is supported for shipments from the EU to a country outside the EU, and for all international shipments sent from outside the EU. On the importer it is supported for international shipments on your own agreement, except between two EU countries.

The EORI number is printed as the buyer's on the commercial invoice and as the importer's reference on the CN23. The buyer is the importer when the shipment has one, otherwise the receiver - so with an importer on the shipment, a receiver's eori is not used. The CN22 has no field for the buyer's EORI number.
