Northern Ireland's unique Dual Market Access position following EU Exit
Following the UK’s exit from the European Union (EU), Northern Ireland continues to have access to Great Britain (GB) and the EU markets for goods. This means that Northern Ireland is a gateway for the sale of goods to two of the world’s largest markets and the only place where businesses can operate free from customs declarations, rules of origin certificates and non-tariff barriers on the sale of goods to both GB and the EU.
This puts Northern Ireland in the highly advantageous position of being the only region in the world able to trade goods freely with both the GB and EU markets. That’s a huge advantage for businesses based here and it also makes it easy for buyers in these markets to source products from Northern Ireland.
