Ireland Shipping Paperwork

In some cases, you may be able to ship these items with the correct permits or other paperwork, but many cannot be shipped under any circumstances. The specific requirements will often differ for different categories of items, meaning that the steps you need to take will depend on the items you want to ship.

What Irish Customs Or Duties Should I Be Aware Of?

Shipping to Ireland from the UK has changed since Brexit took effect. With the UK now outside the EU, it is subject to stricter customs rules about importing certain items into the bloc and this means that more items are now restricted or prohibited from shipping to Ireland from the UK.

All items imported to the EU are now subject to VAT. Items with a value of less than €22 were previously exempt from VAT, but this exemption was removed in 2021 and now all items are subject to this regulation. This will include any items shipped from the UK to Ireland.
