* In **Create a transaction**, choose **Select legal entity** to decide who files the DDS
* See the responsible entity in the **Legal entity** column of the Transactions table

**Notes**

* If no entity is selected, the system **defaults to the first legal entity you registered** for your business
* **EORI is required** for **Import/Export**; **VAT** can be used for **Domestic/Trade**

### FAQs (additions)

**What’s the difference between my Business and a Legal Entity?**\
Your Business is your TradeAware account. A Legal Entity is a registered record (name, address, EORI/VAT) that can file a DDS in TRACES. One business can contain multiple legal entities.

**Why do I need a Legal Entity on a transaction?**\
TRACES requires the exact legal entity responsible for the filing so the correct name, address, and EORI/VAT appear on the DDS. Each transaction must specify one legal entity (the DDS primary actor).

**Do I need a separate supplier list per legal entity?**\
No. Suppliers and transactions are shared at account level. You simply choose the filing **legal entity** per transaction.
