The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the (a) volume and (b) value was of (i) goods and (ii) other materials sent from Great Britain to Northern Ireland in each of the last five years.

Answered by James Murray

Data on goods moved into Northern Ireland from Great Britain can be obtained from the official statistics produced on the GOV.UK website.


HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has published a Summary of movements of goods into Northern Ireland from Great Britain covering 2023. Details for 2022 and 2021 are also available.


HMRC do not have details prior to 2021 as this information was not collected before EU-Exit .
