If you are driving across the checkpoint you may be asked to show your licence and car documents. You must have insurance and road tax to drive legally on the both the North and south side of the island.

You are limited to the amount you can spend on goods and carry across the checkpoint at any one time. This is worth checking on the crossover point beforehand so you are not penalised and have to pay duty on excess goods.  You should also check on what items are not permitted to carry across.
