Under the UK’s Withdrawal Agreement, Northern Ireland remains part of the UK’s customs territory. The Withdrawal Agreement allows the UK to ensure unfettered market access for goods moving from Northern Ireland to Great Britain. The arrangements that the Government introduces will reflect this approach and the Government will set out more detail in due course.
