INTERSTATE COMPLIANCE

Crossing the Irish Sea

Moving waste from Great Britain to Northern Ireland is not a domestic movement—it is technically an export into the EU Single Market zone for goods.

Compliance Risk

Failure to declare an Annex VII document for Green List waste moving to NI can result in immediate vehicle seizure at Belfast/Larne ports.

The Windsor Framework Impact

Under the new framework, "Green Lanes" exist for retail goods, but waste is almost always considered "Red Lane" requiring full customs and environmental declarations.

Critical Documentation Requirements

Annex VII Form
Must accompany every load of 'Green List' waste without exception.
Digital Tracking Record
Must be lodged on the UK digital tracking system prior to departure.
TFS Notification
Mandatory for all hazardous waste (Amber list) movements.
