SPE15355 - Sampling and testing: temporary removal

Note: This manual is under review following Brexit and is likely to be withdrawn. If there is anything within this manual you use regularly, please email hmrcmanualsteam@hmrc.gov.uk to let us know. Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC.

You should also identify where the proposed sampling will be undertaken, and determine whether the warehouse keeper will require authorisation for temporary removal (if the sampling/testing of samples is not carried out on the premises of the customs warehouse, see SPE15290 for further information).

Note: Northern Ireland (NI) customs authorisations will continue to fall within the provisions of the Union Customs Code (UCC), as retained by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and CEMA 1979.
