            UNILATERAL DECLARATION BY THE UNITED KINGDOM IN THE JOINT COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED BY THE AGREEMENT ON THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE EUROPEAN ATOMIC ENERGY COMMUNITY
         
of 24 March 2023
         
on export procedures for goods moving from Northern Ireland to other parts of the United Kingdom

The United Kingdom notes Northern Ireland’s place in the United Kingdom’s customs territory, the need to protect the Good Friday or Belfast Agreement of 10 April 1998 in all its dimensions, and its commitment to unfettered access for Northern Ireland businesses to the whole of the UK market.
In respect of all goods moving from Northern Ireland to other parts of the United Kingdom’s internal market, the United Kingdom confirms that export procedures under Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) will apply only where goods:






1.


are placed under a procedure listed in Article 210 of that Regulation,










2.


are in temporary storage in accordance with Article 144 of that Regulation,










3.


are subject to provisions of Union law falling within the second sentence of Article 6(1) of the Windsor Framework (2) which prohibit or restrict the exportation of goods,










4.


are placed under the export procedure within the Union in accordance with Title V and Title VIII of that Regulation, or










5.


do not exceed EUR 3 000 in value and are packed or loaded for export shipment within the Union, in accordance with Article 221 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 2015/2447 (3).




The United Kingdom recalls its commitment to ensure full protection under international requirements and commitments that are relevant to the prohibitions and restrictions on the exportation of goods from the Union to third countries as set out in Union law.
The United Kingdom confirms it will provide to the Union meaningful information in relation to goods subject to prohibitions and restrictions moving from Northern Ireland to other parts of the United Kingdom as regards exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual use items, exports of cultural goods and shipments of waste.
This Unilateral Declaration will replace the Unilateral Declaration by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the Joint Committee on export declarations of 17 December 2020.
