UKIMS Number
Also Known As: UK Internal Market Scheme Number, UKIMS
A UKIMS number is used to move goods into Northern Ireland under the UK Internal Market Scheme.
UKIMS allows businesses to move goods from Great Britain to Northern Ireland without additional EU customs processes, provided certain conditions are met.
It is used to:
• Declare goods moving into Northern Ireland
• Confirm eligibility under the scheme
• Simplify customs handling for UK internal trade
Without a valid UKIMS number, shipments to Northern Ireland may be treated as international exports and require full customs declarations.
