The guidance offers an overview of the new customs regime, specific information concerning the trade of goods and materials between Great Britain and Northern Ireland as well as between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

The guide also includes an introduction to the new UK global tariff, and touches on the interplay between movement of goods and materials and standards and alignment, which will be covered in a separate CLC publication.

There is also information on preparedness of the border as well information on shortage materials and other useful resources.
