The Windsor Framework covers shipping to Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK. UK Internal Market Movement Scheme declarations are required in some cases. There are four classes of movement covered by the framework:

• C2C where the shipper and recipient are both consumers
• C2B where a consumer is shipping to a business
• B2C where a business is shipping to a consumer
• B2B where the shipper and recipient are both businesses

The last two movement types are the most relevant for Move Fresh clients. Taking B2C first, there is no requirement for a movement declaration even if the consumer is having the goods delivered to a business address, for example their workplace.

A declaration is required for B2B however. There are three parts to ensuring your shipments are delivered smoothly.

First, you should register under the UK Internal Market Scheme here:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-authorisation-for-the-uk-internal-market-scheme-if-you-bring-goods-into-northern-ireland

Once you have your registration number please supply it to us, and we can then include it in the electronic declaration to ensure your goods go into the Green Lane for rapid movement into Northern Ireland.

Secondly, you need to identify which of your orders are B2B. Note that we cannot do this from the address as some consumers may want their orders delivered to their workplace.

• On Shopify our integration will mark orders as B2B if there is a business associated with the order.
• API clients should set the customer_type to “business” as described in the documentation
• For all other platforms please contact your account manager

Orders that are set to B2B on our platform will have an icon showing on the order page.

Finally, the Customs Details section on the Product page for each product needs to be completed. This can either be completed manually, uploaded from Excel or CSV, created through the API or imported from your store. For each product we need:

• Customs Value – note this is not necessarily the sale price
• HS Code – sometimes called the commodity code, use the UK code not the Northern Ireland (EU) code
• Country of Origin – where the product is from, according to the relevant rules of origin

This should all be in place for 30 September 2024. Please contact us if you have any questions or need any help.
