HMDS2780 - Scheme Description: Removal from warehouse of products required to bear a duty stamp

Goods removed for home use from a UK excise warehouse or winery

Goods which fall within the scope of the duty stamping requirements which are removed from a UK warehouse or a winery to home use in the UK must bear a duty stamp, unless specific exceptions apply.

Goods which are removed from a UK excise warehouse or winery for export

Goods which fall within the scope of the duty stamping requirements which are removed from a UK warehouse or a winery for delivery either to another Country must not bear a duty stamp. In practice, this means that removing stamped goods from a UK warehouse other than to another UK warehouse or to home use is prevented, unless the duty stamp is removed, or obliterated. The requirements for the voiding of duty stamps are covered in more detail in HMDS2840.

• another UK excise warehouse approved under Section 92 of CEMA under duty suspension arrangements

• for duty relieved use, e.g. ships’ stores, diplomatic privilege or visiting forces.
