Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what proposals they have made for groupage haulage under the Windsor Framework.
The agreement establishes a new UK internal trade scheme based on commercial data-sharing, not international customs processes, for the movement of goods. This new scheme will significantly expand the range of businesses who can benefit; end the requirement for traders to provide customs commodity codes for each movement; scrap burdensome supplementary declarations and ensure that businesses can therefore move their goods using the same type of commercial information as they already hold when moving goods to the Isle of Wight.
We will continue to engage closely with industry and broader stakeholders on the operational arrangements of the new scheme, including the haulage sector.
