Post-Brexit Reality
What Changed After Brexit for UK–Ireland Shipping
Since January 2021, the Republic of Ireland sits outside the UK customs territory. That means every shipment from Great Britain to the Republic of Ireland is now an international export — requiring customs declarations, commodity codes and commercial invoices.
Many UK businesses have struggled with delays, unexpected duty charges and returned parcels as a result. We take all of that off your plate — our team handles every piece of paperwork so your customers in Ireland receive their orders without friction.
Republic of Ireland
Outside UK customs territory since Brexit. Full customs declarations required. VAT and duties may apply. DDP shipping recommended for B2C.
Northern Ireland
Remains part of the UK VAT area. Simpler than ROI but Windsor Framework rules apply for certain goods. Next-day delivery available.
Our Compliance Promise
We stay up to date with all UK–Ireland customs rules so you don't have to. Every shipment leaves with the correct documentation, every time.
