    Same as any other destination in the UK (lower FPS limits not withstanding for NI I believe), i.e. you need to prove you are entitled to avail of the skirmisher defense of the VCRA.

    In plain english that means current (as in not expired) site membership and/or a UKARA number as your path of least resistance.

    sounds like it might be easier just to get imported for me in the south

    So long as it's to a Southern address fine. Retailers in the south will still ask/require a UKARA number if you are getting it sent to a Northern address.
