IIRC Under WTO rules, if a territory has different customs rules, then it is formally a separate territory under WTO rules. As there are rules for between NI & GB, NI is a separate customs territory.

If NI is part of the UK customs territory as specified in the Protocol, then GB cannot have "separate tariffs or other regulations of commerce are maintained for a substantial part of the trade" with NI. Otherwise NI becomes a separate customs territory and things get even more messy.NI(ie UK government) would have to come to a formal trade agreement with GB(ie UK government again).
And where does it mention "EU Single Market", which you said NI wasn’t part of?

NI is not part of the EU single market
Who to believe - the NI Assembly, the NI Government, the Irish Government Tax Authorities, or you?

Tricky one…
