  Sections 40A and 50B of the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 related to export duties on goods removed to Northern Ireland which are "not domestic goods" or "are at risk of subsequently being moved into the European Union"[3]; sections 30A-C related to import duties on goods imported into Northern Ireland and "the removal of goods to Great Britain from Northern Ireland if the goods are not qualifying Northern Ireland goods[3]. Clause 5(2) of the Taxation (Post-transition Period) Bill, which was intended to become Section 5(2) of the Act provided for customs duties to apply to movements from Great Britain to Northern Ireland in the same way that they apply to imports into the United Kingdom and to enable regulations to be made to change rates of such duties and which goods they apply to[2].
