Details
Fill in this form for alcoholic products you’re removing from duty suspension, that have been supplied to you, or imported by you under duty suspension.
You can either:
- use the online service if you’re approved to produce beer
- fill in form on-screen, print and post to HMRC if you’re approved to produce cider, wine, spirits or other fermented products
To use the online service, you need a Government Gateway user ID and password. If you do not have a user ID, you can create one when you use the service.
If you use the online form, you’ll get a reference number that you can use to track the progress of your form.
Email HMRC to ask for this form in Welsh (Cymraeg).
Before you start using the postal form
If you’re using an older browser, for example, Internet Explorer 8, you’ll need to update it or use a different browser. Find out more about browsers.
You’ll need to fill in the form fully before you can print it. You cannot save a partly completed form so gather all your information together before you start to fill it in.
