Where goods are moved through the red lane, they will be able to move onwards from Northern Ireland into the EU without further checks or processes. Where goods are moved in the green lane, they are able to move only within the United Kingdom, in line with the entirely new set of arrangements the Windsor Framework puts in place to protect internal UK trade.
