HCOS3625 - Tied Oils: imports and exports: general
Any trader supplying tied oil to a destination outside of the UK must hold an individual approval regardless of the pack size of the product supplied.
Certain tied oils (Notice 184A section 19) being exported from Northern Ireland to an EU member State are covered by the intra-EU movement requirement for excise goods introduced in 1993. The products covered by the intra-EU movement requirement for excise goods introduced in 1993 must travel with an Accompanying Administrative Document (AAD). Traders receiving goods must receipt and return copy 3 to their supplier. Traders supplying goods must obtain a receipted copy 3 from their customer.
There are exemptions to the intra-EU movement requirement for excise goods. These are detailed in Notice 184A section 19. These are for non-bulk movements only.
Some tax warehouses in Northern Ireland can be approved to deliver and / or receive certain duty suspended oils without an AAD under Article 20 (3) of Council Directive 2003 / 96. The effect of this is that your trader may receive container loads of tied oils from Europe accompanied only by commercial documentation and outside of the receipting requirements. Refer to Mineral Oil Reliefs Centre (MORC) or the Unit of Expertise for further details.
Any trader receiving or supplying the oils specified in Notice 184A section 19 should be approved as a tax warehouse.
The approval is issued by the MORC and requires the trader to provide in writing to them the following information:
