Moving goods between GB and NI - support available
The Northern Ireland Customs & Trade Academy (NICTA) is an online learning platform preparing traders for the processes involved in moving goods under the Northern Ireland Protocol.
The NICTA website hosts guidance and informational videos on how to move goods into and out of Northern Ireland. It exists to support companies in their use of The Trader Support Service (TSS) which is a free government supportive programme to assist you to continue the smooth movement of goods between GB and NI.
