Our priority now is ensuring the timely and successful implementation of the Framework. To this end, we have published further guidance on how the Windsor Framework will work in practice, including detail on improved customs processes and movements of goods and subsidy control, and on the UK Internal Market Scheme, the Retail Movement Scheme and the Duty Reimbursement Scheme.

This all delivers on our commitment to the Windsor Framework, its implementation and supporting businesses and members of civic societies in Northern Ireland. We have – and will continue to - engage extensively with businesses, communities and political parties in Northern Ireland to support them in adapting to these new arrangements, which will be phased in over nearly two and half years.
