What Is the Windsor Framework and Why Does It Matter for Shipping?
The Windsor Framework is a modern trade agreement between the UK and the EU that simplifies how goods move between Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and Europe.
It was designed to remove unnecessary customs checks, reduce shipping delays & help trusted traders operate more efficiently across borders.
In short, the Windsor Framework makes it possible for UK parcel forwarding companies like Parcel Flow to deliver parcels faster & with less hassle especially for customers who need to send parcels to the EU post-Brexit.
How Does the Windsor Framework Benefit Parcel Flow Customers?
If you shop online in the UK or run an eCommerce business that sells to EU customers, the Windsor Framework directly benefits you.
By using Parcel Flow's Northern Ireland storage and forwarding network, your parcels can move through simplified trade lanes established under the Framework.
This means:
- Faster customs clearance
- Reduced paperwork and compliance stress
- Lower delivery costs between the UK and EU
- Clear VAT handling for Great Britain, Northern Ireland & EU destinations
So, whether you're forwarding a personal purchase or fulfilling international orders, your shipments now flow more smoothly than ever before.
What Is the 'Green Lane' and Why Is It Important?
Under the Windsor Framework, shipments are categorized into Green Lane & Red Lane routes:
Green Lane:
For goods staying within the UK or moving between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. These shipments are free from routine customs checks and declarations.
Red Lane:
For goods that are destined for the EU market and require full customs procedures.
At Parcel Flow, we operate seamlessly across both routes, ensuring your shipments move through the fastest and most compliant trade lanes available.
Our position in Northern Ireland gives us a unique advantage allowing us to handle both UK and EU-bound shipments efficiently.
