WSTA Trade-21: Post-Transition Period Movement of Goods from GB to NI

| 23 December, 2020

The UK Government’s Authorised Trader Scheme includes within scope businesses shipping wine from GB to NI (under strict conditions) and will provide a 3 month easement for the requirement for wine shipments to be accompanied by an EU-VI 1 form.  However, the conditions attached to the Scheme, including labelling provisions, may well make the Scheme unattractive or simply not viable.  Businesses wishing to register for the Scheme have a limited window to do so and must register by 17:00 on 28 December.
