Trader Support Service (TSS)
Assists traders in completing customs declarations when moving goods from GB to NI
Freight Forwarding
As of 1st January 2021, import declarations are needed for goods moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, to meet the requirements of the Northern Ireland Portal.
The Trader Support Service (TSS) was introduced by HMRC to assist traders in completing customs declarations when moving goods from GB to NI. These declarations are required to account for any customs duty and Import VAT which could be levied on goods that are deemed ‘at risk’ of being diverted from NI into the EU.
Under TSS there is a two-stage declaration process:
- The haulier or carrier of the goods submits an initial declaration to TSS
- The importer accesses TSS itself, using its TSS log in details and completes the Supplementary Declarations by 4th working day of the following month after entry.
QUOTE BOX Woodside Logistics Group provides support services for the movement of goods.
We can help you to review and identify where supplementary declarations are required to be submitted and support you in the submission process.
- Firstly, identify outstanding GB-NI declarations that are required to be submitted.
- Submit declarations on your behalf for all GB-NI movements directly to the TSS system
- Review your account in the TSS system, to confirm that your details, authorisations, method of payment for any customs taxes due, among others have been set up correctly on the system.
