<p>After the Transition Period, controls implementing the Convention on International
Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) will apply to the movement of CITES specimens
between Great Britain (GB) and Northern Ireland (NI). This is as a result of our international
obligations under CITES, and the operation of the Northern Ireland Protocol. If a
musical instrument contains CITES-listed species (and is not exempted) then CITES
documents will be required for movements from GB to NI after 31 December. ATA Carnets
cannot be used as an alternative to CITES documentation.</p><p>However, after the
Transition period, ATA Carnets will become an option for temporarily moving goods
between the UK, EU and NI. Use of an ATA Carnet is optional, and it is a commercial
decision as to whether it is the most cost-effective method in each specific circumstance.</p>
