Unfettered market access for Northern Ireland traders

Qualifying Northern Ireland goods

From 20 February 2024, only food and animal feed dispatched from a registered or approved food or feed establishment in Northern Ireland will be ‘qualifying Northern Ireland goods’. These goods will continue to have unfettered access to Great Britain and can move from Northern Ireland to Great Britain without SPS controls.

Qualifying Northern Ireland goods can move with unfettered access into Great Britain directly from Northern Ireland, or indirectly through Ireland.

Full information on moving goods under the unfettered market access arrangements is available on gov.uk.
