Free Circulation

This is an old term and refers to whether customs duty is paid for this stock item.

Goods were referred to as “in free circulation” when customs duty was paid, which allows them to freely move around the EU, but this would apply to any customs union whether the EU or a single country.

These days if it were to apply it would apply to goods in GB
