Where the exporter is not established in GB, the exporter must appoint a representative, who is established in GB, to act on their behalf as an indirect representative." For exports out of Northern Ireland (NI) details of the Exporter (name and address and postcode) are to be entered in DE 3/1, (as defined in Article 1(19) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/1063, amending Commission Delegated Regulation 2015/2446). In Article 1(19) exporter is defined in as:
