The new deal ensures that Northern Ireland continues to be part of the UK’s customs territory and that no tariffs will be payable on goods moving from the rest of the UK to Northern Ireland. For the protection of the single regulatory zone, and to ensure that the correct tariffs are applied, it will be necessary to collect information on goods moving from the rest of the UK to Northern Ireland. Declarations will be electronic and, to minimise the impact on traders, will be designed to collect necessary fiscal and regulatory data as part of the same process. 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.
