There are exclusions to the licence requirement:
- your products have a net weight of less than 2500 kilograms (2.5 metric tonnes), or
- your products were made in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway, or
- your products were imported into the UK or EU before 31 May 2016, or
- your products are not entered into free circulation but into a Customs relief scheme (e.g. customs warehousing, temporary import or Inward Processing – If the products are subsequently entered into free circulation a licence is required).
