New Indirect Export Process for Northern Ireland Businesses Effective 15 December 2025

  • From 15 December 2025, traders cannot use the current customs declaration process for indirect exports from Northern Ireland (NI).
  • Indirect exports are goods starting in NI and leaving the EU from a port in an EU member state (not NI).
  • Direct movements from NI to Great Britain (GB) are unaffected.
  • Alternative processes include: submitting an export declaration in CDS with specific codes, declaring a direct export for low-value goods, using the common transit procedure, changing routing to move goods directly from NI, or moving goods under a single transport contract (STC).
  • HMRC has published guidance for each alternative process.
