the reference to the importation of goods does not include the removal of goods from Great Britain to Northern Ireland; and
any reference to the exportation of goods does not include the removal of goods from Northern Ireland to Great Britain.
The principal legislation covering imports, exports and removals in relation to Northern Ireland is set out in the VAT Regulations, SI 1995/2518, Part 16ZA.
