Customs (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2026
Summary
HM Treasury has made S.I. 2026/418, amending the Customs (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 (S.I. 2026/393) to change its commencement date from 20th April 2026 to 25th May 2026. The amendment is made under powers in sections 30B, 32, 40 and 40B of the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018. The amending instrument itself came into force on 19th April 2026.
What changed
The amendment modifies regulation 1 of S.I. 2026/393 (citation and commencement) by substituting "20th April" with "25th May" as the coming into force date for the principal instrument. This is a procedural date change only with no substantive regulatory modifications.
Affected parties involved in Northern Ireland customs arrangements will have additional time before S.I. 2026/393 takes effect, allowing further preparation for compliance with the customs amendments. No new obligations are created by this instrument.
