Introduction
This section provides information for managing import and export procedures for international events.
This customs technical handbook summarises key import and export procedures for international events, including documentation, baggage, reliefs, licenses, and temporary admissions.
It provides general guidance on declarations, commodity-specific requirements, and exportation but does not advise participants on how to meet specific requirements, or which options may be best for their situation. It remains the responsibility of each participant to make those decisions.
It focuses on movements to and from Great Britain. Note that separate rules apply to the movement of goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland under the Windsor Framework.
When moving goods in and out of Northern Ireland, there are specific requirements you will need to be aware of, as agreed under the Windsor Framework. You can read the guidance on trading and moving goods in and out of Northern Ireland.
