Northern Ireland / Windsor Framework

Windsor Framework movements made operationally clear.

Movements between Great Britain and Northern Ireland have their own rulebook under the Windsor Framework. Goods moving to Northern Ireland for internal use travel under the UK Internal Market Scheme with simplified red/green lane logic; goods at risk of onward travel into the EU follow the full Union Customs Code pathway. We help you decide which lane applies, register with the UK Internal Market Scheme where relevant, prepare the required declarations, and pair everything with the movement reference system used on the crossing. Where a consignment mixes both categories, we keep the paperwork lines clean so the green-lane goods move without dragging the others down.

What's included

  • UK Internal Market Scheme registration and filings
  • Red / green lane determination
  • Full UCC declarations for at-risk movements
  • Northern Ireland-linked XI EORI support

Frequently asked

Do I need XI EORI?
