Export Shop warehousekeepers are Revenue Traders as defined by CEMA.

As such, primary law in CEMA provides a legal requirement for them:

CEMA also provides the legal vires for the Revenue Traders (Accounts and Records) Regulations 1992.

These regulations provide details of the records that must be kept and requirements that must be met including:

• invoices, accounts, any business record;

• particulars to go in an excise duty account; and

• particulars relating to excise duty points and the calculation of excise duty due.
