Non-approved doesn't mean illegal. EU states can legally produce non-approved items, just as long as they don't market them etc within the EU. Small amounts of goods will always move across ANY border. There just wouldn't be the shipping of large quantities of non-approved goods from the UK into the EU via NI. Even then it would be an issue for the EU alone, just as it is for every other country on the planet. EG Chinese producers sometimes can and DO ship non-approved items into the EU and UK. Nothing new about that. Then again EU countries sometimes can and DO ship non-approved items to other EU countries and the UK. There simply was no justification for imposing restrictions on moving items between GB and NI.

Irish farmers used to prefer to buy their seed potatoes from the UK, as they were better quality and less disease-ridden than those from the EU.

As of 1 January 2021, the UK has left the EU single market and customs union, and its relationship with the EU is governed by the Withdrawal Agreement, and the Trade and Cooperation Agreement. Under the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland remains in the EU single market for goods.

And the Irish Tax Authorities

Under the Revised Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland:
legally remains part of the customs territory of the UK
effectively remains within the EU Single Market for the movement of goods only.
