We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who visited the RICO Europe stand over the two-day event.
What the New Windsor Framework Means for Our Northern Ireland Customers
As a UK-based business, we regularly ship parcels across the country—including to our valued customers in Northern Ireland. With the introduction of the Windsor Framework, there are a few important updates we want to share.
The Windsor Framework replaces parts of the old Northern Ireland Protocol, aiming to simplify trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The good news? It’s now easier to ship parcels to Northern Ireland without the same level of customs friction we saw before.
Here’s what’s changed and what it means for you:
1. Green Lane for Goods:
Goods staying in Northern Ireland now move through a simplified “Green Lane.” This means reduced paperwork and fewer checks for parcels that are clearly not heading to the EU.
2. Less Red Tape:
We no longer need to complete full customs declarations for most parcels going to individuals or businesses in Northern Ireland, unless they're destined for further travel into the EU.
3. Faster Delivery Times:
With fewer delays at the border, parcels should arrive more smoothly and quickly—great news for everyone.
What You Need to Do:
Nothing changes for you as our customer. Just place your order as usual. We handle the rest. If any extra information is ever required, we’ll reach out directly.
We’re committed to making the shipping process as seamless as possible, and the Windsor Framework helps make that easier.
If you have any questions about deliveries to Northern Ireland, feel free to contact us.
