The Windsor Framework safeguards parcel movements and maintains business as usual for Northern Ireland consumers, removing any need for international customs processes. That means parcels can be sent to friends and family in Northern Ireland, as smoothly as today. People in Northern Ireland ordering from businesses in the rest of the UK will continue to order and receive goods as they do now; and parcels sent between businesses will be able to use the same internal market scheme as applies for freight movements.
