Customs — What You Need to Know
Ireland is in the EU, so shipments moving directly between Ireland and other EU countries move freely, with no customs clearance required. Customs only comes into play when a shipment's route involves the UK, which is outside the EU since Brexit — in that case, you provide the commercial invoice, packing list, and EORI number, we issue the CMR consignment note, and we coordinate clearance through our partner customs agencies.
Common Questions
💬Can you ship directly between Ireland and mainland Europe, without going via the UK?
Yes — direct ferry routes from Ireland to France, the Netherlands, and Spain are growing fast, and we route shipments this way whenever it's the quickest option. As both ends are in the EU, no customs clearance is needed.
💬How long does freight to Ireland take?
Typically 24–48 hours depending on the route and crossing, with express options for tighter deadlines.
💬Do I need an EORI number to ship to Ireland?
Only if your shipment's route involves the UK. Direct shipments between Ireland and other EU countries don't require customs clearance or an EORI number.
💬Do you ship to Northern Ireland as well as the Republic of Ireland?
Yes, we cover both — Northern Ireland follows different customs arrangements to the Republic, and we'll confirm exactly what applies to your shipment before you book.
