Following extensive preparations, HMRC has confirmed that the new arrangements for the movement of goods from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, whether by parcels or freight, are scheduled to take effect from 1 May 2025, subject to final procedural steps.
What This Means for Businesses and Carriers
The Windsor Framework introduces revised processes for moving goods between GB and NI, impacting businesses, logistics providers, and parcel carriers. Those involved in cross-border trade must ensure compliance with the updated Internal Market Movement (IMM) requirements and new data submission processes.
Key Areas of Change:
– New reporting obligations for businesses and parcel carriers
– Updated data requirements for consumer parcel movements
– Specific processes for B2B, B2C, and private parcel shipments
Act Now to Ensure Compliance
With just over a month until implementation, businesses should review their logistics, customs procedures, and reporting requirements to ensure a smooth transition.
