Seems the windsor framework is being implemented for UK to NI from March 25, biggest impact is for B2B

We use RM for its special delivery plus insurance as we can ship £2000 cost orders in a small box. Looks like anything over £135 cant be shipped via RM to NI going forward plus they arent a Delivered Duty Paid DDP shipper. Add on you need a UKIMS numbers to help customs class your shipment as "low risk"

As a side note, I dont send much to EU but already having issue - our supplier can ship USA> on my door in 3 days. I ship via RM to Ireland or Spain and it takes 3 to 4 weeks. Im filling out the customs with VAT, EORI and HS tarrif codes. I dont send much, its just a pain in the ass rather than a deal breaker

Whats the plan here? Would a DHL/UPS account be a better option for NI/EU esp given shipping value?
