Considering purchasing from Norther Ireland.

Hi,
If I purchase some machinery from NI, are there any custom or import taxes.
Anybody do so after Brexit?
Cheers.

NI is just UK isn't it?
Pounds and pence still?

Yes, but effectively NI is still in the EU single market, hence one could argue that financially NI is not in the UK, even though the currency is Stirling.

All taxes paid to her majesty same as rest of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. No extra costs except for haulage and boat obviously. Plenty of guys with machinery trailers crossing everyday.

That argument would be a quick way to end a conversation and any chance of a good deal with many folk.

The only issue is moving stuff across the irish sea boarder. Nothing else changed.
Some people will not be willing or able to deal with it while others can.
Unless your sorting your own transport then all you need to know/worry about is the price delivered.

Last I checked ni is still part of the uk. Haulier will sort any paperwork there is needed

is the issue getting stuff to NI.
getting stuff from not such an issue ?

What you hear about difficulties is mostly balls broadcast by people with their own agendas. Yes there is more paperwork (for paperwork the pallet firm I use charge me £10 extra per shipment regardless if its one pallet or fifty). For smoothness I had to get an EORI and TSS number (easily done on line). Speak to your machinery haulier or machinery seller they will be up to speed. Parts and couriered stuff is business as usual, if I stick a first class stamp on an envelope with royal mail it will be in London as quick as anywhere else in the UK Second hand machinery has to be spotlessly clean or DEFRA or DAERA will stop it at the ports.
The amount of shiny new slurrytankers and silage trailers getting on to the boats at Larne and Belfast and the amount of stuff that arrives here out of the auction at Cambridge would lead you to believe that its not that difficult. We are part of the UK, we are under the rule of Boris and the Bank of England is in charge of our money, so essentially we are the same as GB.............................. only better looking.

We sold a matbro last year to NI, invoiced for price + vat money in bank and he organised transport, (so I can’t comment on that side of it hinges) but otherwise no difference to dealing with someone in the next town, it’s just the same.

Bought a Bale Sledge from a dealer in NI this winter nothing special that I could see unless it was in the background and certainly no extra cost and no bother they organised haulage which was very reasonable just like buying it from up the road. But they were doing it all the time. If you were buying something privately and organising your own Haulage or possibly collecting it yourself then I am sure there will be some bits and pieces you need to know on the haulage paperwork side and possibly cleanliness but is possibly only going into NI (EU) not coming out
