UK Internal Trade: Northern Ireland

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, with reference to the Windsor Framework, published on 27 February 2023, CP 806, whether products sold into cash and carry settings will be eligible for the green lane.

Answer

Yes. The green lane is open to all UK businesses moving goods that are not destined for the EU or subject to commercial processing criteria.

For goods that cannot access the green lane, for example if businesses cannot be certain of the end destination of their goods, traders will have access to a new comprehensive tariff reimbursement scheme when they can show that those goods did not ultimately enter the EU. This will supplement the existing customs duty waiver scheme available to all businesses.
