Moving goods from Rest of World excluding the European Union to Northern Ireland

When moving goods from the Rest of World excluding the European Union (defined as anywhere outside of Great Britain and the European Union), you must use the Full Frontier Declaration route. The TSS Full Frontier Declaration supports movements made via air or via maritime into inventory-linked locations in Northern Ireland.

If you are new to TSS, we recommend starting in Getting Started, with the beginner's guide.

Step-by-step guidance

Every movement made from Rest of World excluding the European Union to Northern Ireland will require:

  1. Submission of a safety and security declaration outside of TSS - generally done by the carrier / haulier
  2. Submission of a Full Frontier Declaration - generally done by the importer
  3. Payment of any required duties or charges

The exact process for the Full Frontier Declaration route, including when you submit your declaration, will depend on whether you are moving goods via air or maritime. See the Full Frontier Declaration guide for detailed process flows for your specific journey. You should also read the guidance on movements into inventory-linked locations in Northern Ireland before you start your declaration.
