UK Customs: New Parcel Arrangements under the Windsor Framework

“The Windsor Framework establishes a new set of arrangements for the movement of goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland via both parcels and freight. Subject to the relevant procedures, the new arrangements as set out in the Windsor Framework are planned to take effect from 1 May 2025.

HMRC’s Northern Ireland Customs team have put together the attached FAQ sheet on the new parcel arrangements under the Windsor Framework when moving goods from Great Britain to Northern Ireland. These questions are those that have been raised frequently by our valued stakeholders and we hope you find the information enclosed helpful.

HMRC has also issued the attached Key information you need to provide to your haulier communication to assist in using the new arrangements.

Please do contact the NI stakeholder inbox at: [email protected] if you have any queries.

HMRC has organised a free online event on Thursday 10 April 12-1pm to help industry prepare for the new arrangements. HMRC encourages any stakeholders involved in the movement of parcels from Great Britain to Northern Ireland to sign up. This webinar follows on from previous webinars HMRC has held on the new parcels arrangements, you can view the recordings of these on the Windsor Framework Resource page here.

On the day, we will cover what the new parcels arrangements are and will use the majority of the time to answer any questions stakeholders have.

There will also be an opportunity for you to put your questions to the presenters during the webinar via the live Questions and Answers function.
