"The Windsor Framework, the agreement between the UK and the EU amending the Northern Ireland Protocol and the legal instruments which sit beneath it, including but not limited to statutory guidance, comes into effect from 31 March 2025."
"Under the Windsor Framework, the arrangements for sending parcels from Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) to Northern Ireland will depend on whether they are sent to or from a private individual or a business.
Private individuals in Northern Ireland will be able to receive parcels sent by direct transport from friends, family or businesses in Great Britain as smoothly as they do now. There will be no customs declarations, tariffs, or presentation of goods to customs authorities when parcels are sent from another part of the UK to a private individual residing in Northern Ireland for personal use. Carriers will be required to submit data on the parcel movements to HMRC.
Parcels sent between businesses will be treated in line with equivalent freight movements and will give you access to the simplified process for internal market movements (SPIMM) if they are eligible.
There will be no routine checks or controls applied to parcels sent by or to private individuals or moved under SPIMM, with interventions only on the basis of a risk-based, intelligence-led approach."
I'm guessing this is some form of digital submission to HMRC and Royal Mail are already rolling the changes they need out to click and drop.
So my question is, does the Windsor Framework negate the need for all the GPSR documentation for Northern Ireland? And when will eBay roll out the changes needed?
