The UK Landbridge
The “UK Landbridge” describes the movement of Irish imports and exports between Ireland and the European continent via the UK road and Ports network. Upon leaving the EU, the UK will accede to the Common Transit Convention (CTC). Under the Convention, goods moving from Ireland to another Member State via the UK, or vice versa, post- Brexit, will move under the Customs Transit Procedure.
Once Union goods are moving under the Customs Transit Procedure, from one Member State to another, through a third country, no duties or taxes will be applicable. However a financial guarantee is required for each consignment.
