Ireland Customs Regulations for Shipping from the UK
 
Ireland’s customs are overseen by the Revenue Commissioners within the EU framework. Post-Brexit, UK goods (excluding Northern Ireland under the Protocol) are treated as third-country imports, subject to EU external tariffs unless qualifying for zero-duty under the UK-EU TCA. The Northern Ireland Protocol adds complexity, but Send2Hub focuses on UK mainland to Ireland shipments here.
 
1. Customs Clearance Process
  • Declaration: Processed via the EU’s Import Control System (ICS2); Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) required pre-arrival.
  • Inspection: Revenue may check for tax, safety, and EU compliance.
  • Duty/Tax Payment: Based on CIF value (cost, insurance, freight).
2. Required Documentation
  • Commercial Invoice: Outlines goods, value, and parties (English preferred).
  • Packing List: Breaks down contents, weight, and quantity.
  • Bill of Lading (Sea) or Air Waybill (Air): Confirms transport and ownership; notes freight costs.
  • EORI Number: Mandatory for UK exporters to EU (Send2Hub can assist).
  • Certificate of Origin: Required for TCA zero-duty (UK-origin goods).
  • EU Certs: For restricted items (e.g., food, plants).
3. Duties and Taxes
  • Duty-Free Threshold: Gifts under €45 and goods under €22 (CIF) skip duties and VAT; above this, full rates apply.
  • Import Duties: 0-17% via HS codes (e.g., 12% on clothing); TCA drops to 0% for UK-made goods with proof.
  • VAT: 23% standard (CIF + duty); 13.5% for food, 9% for books.
  • Customs Fees: €5-20 based on courier and shipment.
4. Prohibited and Restricted Items
  • Prohibited: Drugs, counterfeit goods, explosives without permits, and hazardous waste.
  • Restricted:
    • Food/alcohol: EU health certs (e.g., no fresh UK meat; excise on liquor).
    • Plants/animals: Phytosanitary/vet docs (EU Reg 2016/2031).
    • Medicines: HPRA approval for drugs.
    • Cultural items: Export clearance from UK, import review in Ireland.
5. HS Codes and Valuation
  • HS Codes: EU Tariff applies (e.g., a wool scarf might be 6214.20). Use TARIC.
  • Valuation: CIF value; under-declaring risks penalties.
6. Post-Brexit TCA and Protocol Notes
  • TCA offers 0% tariffs on UK-origin goods with proper origin docs. Northern Ireland shipments follow separate rules (EU-aligned), but this focuses on Great Britain to Ireland.
7. Practical Tips
  • Prepay Taxes: An Post or couriers like DHL can handle this.
  • EORI Setup: Vital for UK exporters—Send2Hub can help.
  • Tracking: Use Revenue’s Customs Service or courier tools.
