Import Controls in the Isle of Man
Most goods produced in the UK, or properly imported into the UK, can be brought into the Island without further customs formalities. Goods brought directly to the Island would be subject to similar import prohibitions, restrictions and licensing that would apply if they were imported into the UK.
The Isle of Man does maintain import controls on -
- Certain plants and animals, including endangered species covered by the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species (CITES)
- Meat, from the UK, other EU Member States or other countries
- Fish and shellfish
Please see the website of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry for further information.
Other import prohibitions and restrictions that may differ from those in the UK include -
- Explosives (including imports from the UK)
- Firearms
- Medicines
- Tobacco in pouches for placing in the mouth (including snus)
- Non-resident traders intending to do business in the Island (see Office of Fair Trading)
