Consumer Goods: Northern Ireland
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the volume of retail goods purchased in Northern Ireland and subsequently transported by consumers into the Republic of Ireland.
Answered by Dan Tomlinson
HM Revenue and Customs does not hold an estimate of the volume of retail goods purchased in Northern Ireland and subsequently transported by consumers into the Republic of Ireland.
There is no routine data collection on the movement of retail goods carried by individual consumers across the land border, and such movements are not subject to customs declarations.
