Windsor Framework: Parcel Updates for 2025

The Windsor Framework introduces new parcel movement rules between Great Britain (GB) and Northern Ireland (NI), rolling out fully by March 31, 2025. Here’s what matters for businesses and carriers:

Simplified Parcel Movement

1. B2C & C2B Parcels:

   • No customs declarations required for personal-use shipments.

   • Carriers only collect basic data, like recipient details and contents.

2. C2C Parcels:

   • Non-commercial parcels avoid customs declarations altogether.

   • Weight limits and restricted goods apply.

3. B2B Parcels:

   • Customs declarations will become mandatory.

   • Accurate data submission is critical for smooth operations.

Green Lane & EIDR Benefits

• Green Lane Simplification:

  • Use UKIMS and UKC to declare goods as “not at risk.”

  • Simplified datasets eliminate the need for full customs declarations.

• EIDR for Efficiency:

  • Record-keeping replaces upfront data submissions for authorized carriers.

How to Prepare

• Register with TSS for hands-on guidance.

• Upgrade systems to meet new data requirements.

• Apply for UKIMS and UKC authorizations to streamline parcel movement.
