New authorisation needed to move goods to Northern Ireland
Date published:
Under the Windsor Framework, the UK Internal Market Scheme – UKIMS is replacing the UK Trader Scheme from 30 September 2023.
If you want to join the UKIMS, you will need to apply online to be authorised. If you’re authorised, you will be able to declare your goods ‘not at risk’ if they are brought into Northern Ireland for sale or final use by end consumers in the UK.
If you’re already authorised under the UK Trader Scheme, for goods moving before 30 September 2023, you can continue to use the UK Trader Scheme authorisation to declare your goods ‘not at risk’. For goods moving on or after 30 September 2023, the UK Trader Scheme authorisation will no longer be valid and you must use the UK Internal Market Scheme authorisation.

If you need more information or support completing your UK Internal Market Scheme authorisation, you can register with the Trader Support Service to support you with this process. The Trader Support Service will also guide you through any changes due to the implementation of the Windsor Framework.
