Businesses currently registered as Professional Operators with DAERA, intending to receive NIPHL goods, must complete a NIPHL declaration.

Completed forms to be returned to: planthealth@daera-ni.gov.uk
NI traders who are registered with the NI Retail Movement Scheme (NIRMS) can move plant produce (fruit and veg) and cut flowers from GB to NI for retail sale only in NI under the terms and conditions of the Northern Ireland Retail Movement Scheme.
If the goods are intended for onward movement to the EU, Professional Operators should continue to move plants for planting, plant products and used agricultural and forestry machinery from GB to NI, however, not under NIPHL or NIRMS. These consignments must be pre-notified to DAERA with a CHEDPP using the TRACES.NT platform and must be accompanied by a valid phytosanitary certificate.
Specific queries should be forwarded to planthealth@daera-ni.gov.uk
