Trade Agreements: Australia

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government (1) in what circumstances, and (2) under which conditions, Australian imports into Northern Ireland are able to benefit from the provisions of the UK trade deal with Australia.

Answer

The UK-Australia FTA applies to all four parts of the UK, including Northern Ireland.

There are some specific instances where Australian importers will see differences when moving goods into Northern Ireland as a result of the Northern Ireland Protocol. However, the Protocol did not prevent the UK from including Northern Ireland in the market access granted to Australia in the FTA.
