Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations come into force on 1 December 2002. They implement the requirements of Council Directive 92/12/EEC (OJ No L76, 23.3.1992, p.1) (to which there are no relevant amendments) in respect of the right of individuals to import excise goods which they have acquired duty-paid in another member State for their own use and which they have transported to the UK. They amend the Excise Goods (Holding, Movement, Warehousing and REDS) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/3135), the Beer Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/1228), and the Tobacco Products Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/1712) to provide for an excise duty point (the time when a requirement to pay excise duty takes effect) where such goods are held or used in the UK for a commercial purpose; and make other ancillary amendments. A transposition note setting out how these Regulations implement the requirements of Council Directive 92/12/EEC is available at www.hmce.gov.uk.
