Meat products imported from Great Britain into Northern Ireland are subject to EU Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) rules under the Windsor Framework. The Framework provides schemes to facilitate and simplify the internal UK movements of SPS goods, including meat products processed in Wales, Scotland or England. Compliance with relevant health certificate conditions and labelling requirements may be needed.
