Latest Updates from trade with Northern Ireland. Last Update 24.03.2024
NI: UKIMS Authorisation Code Briefing
Since March 24th, 2024, each declaration must feature the company's UKIMS authorization code, ensuring compliance with NI trade regulations. We explain.
JCCC NI Subgroup Jan 2024
The first JCCC NI Subgroup meeting was welcomed by Simon Pettigrew, who assured that power sharing returns to Northern Ireland would not affect the topics discussed. Traders must have an XI Duty Deferment Account assigned to their XI EORI from February 27th, 2024. Mark Brown provided updates on changes to the CDS for movements into Northern Ireland, including the possibility of duties due at the EU rate being calculated and charged without declaring a valid UK Internal Market Scheme (UKIMS) authorisation.
New solution for EU-UK TRQ
A proposal outlining a new EU-UK joint solution under the Windsor Framework concerning the use of tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) by Northern Ireland enterprises was adopted by the EU Commission last week.
It is a proposal to amend the "goods not at risk" provision of the Joint Committee of the EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement's decision that establishes the Windsor Framework's arrangements. The objective is to guarantee that businesses in Northern Ireland can utilise UK TRQs when importing various agri-food products from third nations, including livestock from New Zealand. The solution is designed to address the requirements of businesses in Northern Ireland while concurrently safeguarding the integrity of the European Union Single Market.
After extensive technical deliberations with the United Kingdom, the Commission is presently presenting a proposition to the Council. The EU and the UK are anticipated to reach a formal agreement on the solution at the subsequent meeting of the Joint Committee of the EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement, contingent upon the Council's approval of the proposal.

In order to transport seed potatoes from Scotland to Northern Ireland, authorization must be obtained from the Scottish Government. Read guide
