Moving UAFM from GB to NI under the Northern Ireland Plant Health Label (NIPHL) scheme:
There are two options available for the movement of Used Agricultural and Forestry Machinery (UAFM) from GB to NI:
- The NIPHL scheme can be used where the UAFM is destined for NI. That is, it is intended for use by or sale to an end consumer in NI.
- Details on moving UAFM under the simplified NIPHL Scheme arrangements can be found on the NIPHL Used Agricultural and Forestry Machinery page.
Moving UAFM from GB through NI to the European Union (EU)/Ireland with a Phytosanitary Certificate:
- Where UFAM has a destination in the EU/Ireland, and is just transiting NI, full Official Controls Regulations (OCR) rules apply, and a valid Phytosanitary Certificate is required.
- Where UAFM is moved to NI for onward sale to EU/Ireland, full OCR rules apply, and a valid Phytosanitary Certificate is required.
- Pre-Notification of Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) through submission of a CHED-PP part 1 into TRACES NT a minimum of 24 hours prior to arrival.
