The new deal will enable the Government to ensure that no tariffs are payable for goods moving from Northern Ireland to the rest of the UK and that there is no hard border on the island of Ireland. The deal will allow the Government to maintain unfettered access for goods moving from Northern Ireland to the rest of the UK. Some practical information will need to be provided electronically for these movements for safety and security purposes, and to maintain compliance with existing international obligations. This agreement protects the economy of Northern Ireland and Ireland by ensuring that all businesses can continue to trade easily across the North-South border without customs checks or controls.
