The Northern Ireland Protocol to the Withdrawal Agreement is a practical solution to avoiding a hard border on the island of Ireland while maintaining Northern Ireland’s integral place in the UK internal market. Under the Protocol, Northern Ireland maintains some alignment with EU processes, including EU rules for excise goods.

This guidance focusses on the movement of excise goods, which may involve interaction with customs requirements.

You can find information on the customs requirements at the end of the transition period in the guidance for Moving goods under the Northern Ireland Protocol.
