Goods requiring a Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) licence and/or a Documentary Proof of Origin (DPO) for textile products can be warehoused without the presentation of the document to the Department. However, the stock records must be noted that an import license needs to be produced or made available to the Department at the time the goods are declared to free circulation.

Note: Northern Ireland (NI) customs authorisations will continue to fall within the provisions of the Union Customs Code (UCC), as retained by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and CEMA 1979.
