Air Freight (Express & Standard)

When rapid delivery is critical, air freight is your optimal option.

International Express Shipping to Ireland: Excellent for urgent packages and time-sensitive deliveries. Reach major Irish cities in 3–7 business days.

Standard Air Freight: Great for heavier consignments, combining speed with economy. Transit time is usually 7–12 business days.

Sea Freight

For larger or less time-critical shipments, sea freight delivers the most budget-friendly solution.

LCL (Less than Container Load): Shared container space for smaller shipments.

FCL (Full Container Load): Exclusive container space for large-scale or high-volume goods.

Transit times span from 6–10 weeks depending on departure point, shipping route, and destination port. LCL shipments may require additional time due to container consolidation and deconsolidation processes.

Ireland Customs, Duties, and Taxes

We support you through the customs process by helping prepare the essential documentation accurately and completely.

Customs Duties: Duties may apply depending on your item’s classification, origin, and declared value. Some goods may qualify for low-value consignment relief (if the intrinsic value is €150 or less), meaning no duty is charged even though VAT still applies.

Import VAT (Value Added Tax): Imported goods are subject to the same VAT rates that apply within Ireland — typically 23%, with reduced rates for certain goods. VAT is calculated on the customs value including goods, shipping, insurance, and any duties.

Gift Exemptions: Gifts from outside the EU may be exempt from Customs Duty and VAT if their intrinsic value is €45 or less, and certain conditions are met (e.g. non-commercial, occasional, fully declared). If over that value, the normal import rules apply.

While we cannot guarantee final clearance results, our team will help ensure your shipment is properly declared and documentation is complete to reduce delays. We also offer loss damage protection warranty for additional peace of mind.
