Parcels: Northern Ireland
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Postal Packets (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2023, why parcels travelling from Great Britain to Northern Ireland are treated as exports.
- Answer
-
The status of goods moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland will not be changed by this Statutory Instrument and they will not be regarded as ‘exports’. No export processes – safety and security declarations or export declarations – apply when goods move from Great Britain to Northern Ireland.
Under the Windsor Framework, individuals in Northern Ireland will be able to receive parcels from friends, family or businesses in Great Britain as they do today.
Northern Ireland businesses ordering goods from businesses in Great Britain will be able to access the UK Internal Market Scheme and the Green Lane , benefiting from radically reduced checks and data requirements.
