Note - This isn’t the full Customs Process, just that which the Haulier needs to be aware of.
Despite the fact that Northern Ireland is formerly part of the United Kingdom, there will still be some process requirements in bring goods from GB to NI. This is mainly due to 2 factors, firstly, Northern Ireland will remain to have the only land border with the EU (with the ROI), and this border will remain without controls / checks for free trade between NI and ROI. However, this is not the case for any goods originating in GB. Goods travelling to NI have a “risk” of being transported to ROI either immediately or at a future point. Secondly, there will be control points for certain controlled goods (generally goods of animal and plant origin).
