As part of the recent updates, we’ve added a new webinar recording to NICTA and introduced some new terminology and acronyms, which you can find in the Jargon Buster. You may also notice that we’ve updated some of the existing entries (see below).
| Acronym | Term | Definition |
| SPIMM | Simplified Process for Internal Market Movements | Simplified customs movements available to Traders under the Windsor Framework where goods are moving from GB to NI via direct movement and are ‘not at risk’ of entering the EU. |
| IMMI | Internal Market Movement Information | Simplified data set of ordinary commercial information submitted to TSS. |
| UKIMS | UK Internal Market Scheme | The UK Internal Market Scheme is an authorisation that allows you to declare your goods ‘not at risk’ if they are brought into Northern Ireland for sale or final use by end consumers in Northern Ireland (and Great Britain in the case of movements from Great Britain) and meet all the other criteria to move under UKIMS as set out in the guidance. There are further details on the benefits, eligibility and registration for UKIMS on GOV.UK. |
| TGP | Trader Goods Profile | TGP is a unique ‘goods profile’ that will enable Traders to move goods, providing just a simple goods description and removing the need to provide a commodity code for each movement of goods. |
| NIRMS | Northern Ireland Retail Movement Scheme | NIRMS establishes a new way to move prepacked retail goods from Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) into Northern Ireland. Goods can move on the basis of a single General Certificate for eligible consignments, supported by a packing list. There will be no requirement for an official veterinarian or plant health inspector to approve the documentation. For further details on its benefits, eligibility and registration, see GOV.UK. |
| NIPHL | Northern Ireland Plant Health Labelling Scheme | Under the NI Plant Health Label (NIPHL), growers, farmers and other relevant traders in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales) can move plant products and used agricultural and forest machinery to Northern Ireland. Goods moving under the Scheme will have a NIPHL attached and will not require a Phytosanitary Certificate (PC), provided the goods meet the conditions of the scheme and remain in NI. For further details on its benefits, eligibility and registration see GOV.UK. |
