Following the introduction of the Windsor Framework, the current waiver scheme for parcels moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland will come to an end and new arrangements will take effect from 1st May 2025.

From this date under the terms of the Windsor Framework there will be a difference in treatment for goods going to consumers or businesses, when moved from Great Britain to Northern Ireland.  

To move goods on the business-to-business trade lane that are considered ‘not at risk’ of entering the EU, either the sending or receiving business will need to be authorised under the UK Internal Market Scheme (UKIMS) and meet the criteria for moving goods under this scheme. You can now apply for authorisation under UKIMS.

Where business-to-business movements take place using UKIMS, we will act as the declarant submitting a simplified dataset referred to as the H8 dataset.

If your business-to-business goods don't qualify under UKIMS and are therefore considered ‘at risk’ of leaving Northern Ireland, a full H1 international dataset will be required for the declaration. ‘At risk’ shipments will also be charged at the applicable European Union (EU) rate of duty.

If you'll be shipping ‘red lane’ goods and will move to use a deferment account linked to your NI EORI number for Customs charges, please remember to authorise DHL to apply charges to this account. You'll need to subscribe to the CDS service via your HMRC Government Gateway account. Please check the gov.uk website for further guidance. You'll need to state your deferment account number within the shipment data.

We are unable to accept items listed as restricted and prohibited goods for Northern Ireland
