So, just after some advise from some of the more experienced people. I run a jewellery repair business doing repairs for other jewellers. I have a couple of stores in Northern Ireland who send me work. I do the repairs and then send back. I've never had a problem but just today in the post office been told I needed to provide extra information as something new has come into force. The lady at the post office was honest enough to say she didn't know much about it and was just told this. They asked my name, address and then I sent the parcel via special delivery as usual.
Anyway a quick search on Google and it led me to a post on this forum about the new measures that were meant to come into force last year but have now come into force this year on 1st of may. I've done a bit of reading and it appears it's possible people may need to register for certain things, fill out some ludicrous forms etc in order to freely send goods to northern oreland.
However, I could be wrong but from what I've read it's also possible that the courier (royal mail in this case) maybe acting as the person's that are registered and able to courier items into northern ireland without a full customs declaration. So effectively they are acting on behalf of what I would have registered for.
Does anyone know if this is correct. Obviously the items I send back are customers repaired jewellery and won't be leaving northern ireland. Do you think if I just give my details to royal mail each time my parcels should be good to just go. (I asked this in the pist office and she had no idea. Couldn't tell me if the parcel I was sending would just get delivered as usual.)
It's a decent part of my business and this is the first I've known about this. I know since we left eu I couldn't pist to Republic of Ireland without a declaration/customs form hence I don't have any work come from there.
Any help/info greatly appreciated
Thanks
