You must be authorised under the UK Internal Market Scheme and subscribed to the Customs Declaration Service to use the Trader Good Profile service.

A Trader Goods Profile is automatically created when you register for the UK Internal Market Scheme.

It holds records about the goods you move from Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales) to Northern Ireland.

Each goods record contains a:

• goods description 
• commodity code 
• product reference  
• country of origin 
• category of goods 
• supplementary unit (if required)

The information in your Trader Goods Profile can be used to auto-populate the Internal Market Movement Information. This is a reduced dataset which can be used instead of a full declaration for ‘not at risk’ goods you move from Great Britain to Northern Ireland as part of the simplified processes for Internal Market Movements. 

In many cases, providing a product reference or simple goods description alongside standard commercial information to a trader or intermediary will enable them to complete the Internal Market Movement Information on your behalf.
