What is the Windsor Framework?

The Windsor Framework is a set of arrangements agreed upon in February 2023 between the United Kingdom and the European Union to address issues related to the post-Brexit Northern Ireland Protocol. It aims to resolve disputes and improve the functioning of trade and governance arrangements in Northern Ireland. While it comprises a number of things, the key part that is relevant to Cooksongold customers in Northern Ireland is the new green and red lane system as well as the introduction of UKIMS numbers.
