Windsor Framework: What Parcel Carriers Need to Know

The Windsor Framework, effective by March 31, 2025, redefines how parcels move between Great Britain (GB) and Northern Ireland (NI). Here's what it means for businesses and carriers:

Key Parcel Movement Updates

B2C & C2B Parcels:

  • No customs declarations needed for personal-use shipments.
  • Carriers gather minimal data like recipient details and parcel contents.

C2C Parcels:

  • Non-commercial shipments avoid customs declarations.
  • Weight and content restrictions apply.

B2B Parcels:

  • Full customs declarations mandatory for every shipment.
  • Collaboration between businesses and carriers is crucial to meet requirements.

Simplification Through Green Lane

UKIMS & UKC Authorizations:

  • Enables carriers to move "not at risk" goods with minimal admin.
  • Uses simplified datasets for faster processing.

EIDR Option:

Prepare for Compliance

  • Register with Trader Support Service (TSS) for guidance.
