Before you start
The UK Internal Market Scheme (UKIMS) allows eligible goods moving into Northern Ireland to be declared ‘not at risk’ of entering the EU.
If you hold a UKIMS authorisation, you can use it when making eligible declarations through the Trader Support Service. This includes declarations using the Internal Market Movement Information (IMMI), where the eligibility requirements for the IMMI are met.
If you also have a Trader Goods Profile, you can use it to pre-populate goods information when completing the IMMI.
You can give other Trader Support Service users, such as customs agents and hauliers, permission to submit the IMMI on your behalf using your UKIMS authorisation. You can also give them access to your Trader Goods Profile.
When you or the party you have given UKIMS authorisation permission submits the IMMI, the service will populate the UKIMS authorisation details on your behalf using the information on your business profile.

Once you have given them permission to use your UKIMS authorisation, they will have the option to complete the IMMI on your behalf.
