The Government is committed to minimising the impact of the EU’s removal of its low value import (LVI) relief for businesses and consumers in Northern Ireland.
LVIs that are considered ‘not at risk’ will not face the new EU customs duty on LVI goods. As a result of the Windsor Framework arrangements, we estimate that c.99% of parcel movements into Northern Ireland, including low value imports, fall into this ‘not at risk’ category.
A small number of LVIs may be considered ‘at risk’ and subject to the applicable rate of EU duty. This will include business to consumer parcels that are not eligible to move under the UK Carrier Scheme, such as goods subject to sanctions, and business parcels that are not eligible to benefit from the UK Internal Market Scheme. In these cases, businesses can continue to claim waivers or reliefs through the usual means.
The processes for moving goods into Northern Ireland and the facilitations under the Windsor Framework are unaffected by the EU’s change to Low Value Imports.

SPS Inspection Facilities at Belfast, Larne, Foyle, and Warrenpoint are now operational. Remaining works on 13 July 2026 were limited to minor snagging and commissioning activities in line with normal construction practice and include additional works at Larne which will enhance the live animal inspections already in place.
This Government, which has responsibility for delivery of these facilities, remains committed to a maximum funding envelope of £192.3 million. Of this envelope, £152.2 million has been spent up to the 13 July 2026. Further payments for construction have yet to be made in accordance with contractual terms, however the total expenditure is forecast to be within the maximum funding envelope.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department has received representations from businesses on delays at UK ports following the introduction of the steel trade measure on 1 July 2026.
This Government engages closely with businesses across the steel supply chain and will actively monitor implementation of the steel trade measure to ensure it operates as intended and remains responsible to emerging evidence and stakeholder feedback. To date, the department has not been informed that any delays at UK ports are attributed to the introduction of this measure.
We will continue engaging regularly across the supply chain, while working closely with HMRC to ensure effective the implementation and enforcement of the measure.
The Government has committed to reviewing the measure after 12 months to ensure it remains effective and proportionate.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether Government plans to introduce measures to prevent the import of a) eggs, b) liquid eggs and c) powdered eggs produced in systems that are banned in the UK.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether Government plans to introduce measures to prevent the import of a) eggs, b) liquid eggs and c) powdered eggs produced in systems that are banned in the UK.
The Government has carried out an assessment and, as part of the recent consultation on laying hen cage reform, sought views on that assessment. The consultation also sought additional evidence on how the proposals will affect egg production costs and current levels of imports and exports. We are now analysing the consultation responses and will publish a formal response in due course.
This Government will always consider whether overseas goods benefit from an unfair advantage and any impact on UK producers. Where necessary, the Government will use the full range of powers at the Government’s disposal, including permanent quotas, exclusions and safeguards.
