  • ✓ Decision No 1/2024 of the Joint Committee amends Decision No 1/2023, focusing on improving the operation of schemes related to UK tariff rate quotas for goods imported into Northern Ireland. The amendment adds Annex V to Decision No 1/2023, specifying conditions for processing and criteria for goods brought into Northern Ireland from outside the Union.
  • ✓ Article 6 is amended to include additional processing purposes in Northern Ireland that are not considered commercial processing, such as sale of goods listed in Annex V to an end consumer in the United Kingdom, construction, direct provision of health or care services, not-for-profit activities, and final use of animal feed.
  • ✓ Article 7 is amended to detail conditions under which goods brought into Northern Ireland by direct transport from outside the Union or another part of the United Kingdom are not considered at risk of moving into the Union. This includes scenarios where the UK duty is equal to or higher than the EU duty, or where the importer is authorized and the duty difference is less than 3% of the customs value. It also includes specific provisions for goods listed in Annex V, relating to tariff quotas.
  • ✓ Article 7 introduces a definition of 'parcel' for the purposes of the Decision, defining it as a package containing goods other than correspondence, with a total gross weight not exceeding 31.5 kg, or a single item good with a total gross weight not exceeding 100 kg, in relation to a commercial transaction.
  • ✓ Article 9 is amended to clarify the application process for authorization to bring goods into Northern Ireland, including declarations of intent, information on planned annual quantities, and categories of buyers within the United Kingdom.
