Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of trader support service declarations on access between the Northern Ireland and Great Britain markets for agricultural products.

The Windsor Framework will ensure that goods being sold in Northern Ireland will be freed of unnecessary paperwork, checks and duties, using only ordinary commercial information rather than customs processes or complex certification requirements for agri-food.

The Trader Support Service (TSS) is free to use and helps businesses with completing declarations without them needing to engage directly with HMRC systems. The TSS will continue to play an important role in helping businesses moving goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland under the Windsor Framework, including facilitating the movement of agricultural products. The Movement Assistance Scheme (MAS) is also available, which provides additional financial support for traders moving agricultural products from Great Britain to Northern Ireland.
