Customs
Ireland is an EU member — no customs formalities. Important: Northern Ireland (Belfast, Londonderry) is part of the UK and post-Brexit rules apply there (CN22/CN23, VAT, duty from €150). Always check whether you are shipping to Ireland (EU) or Northern Ireland (UK).
Required documents
- None for Ireland (EU)
- CN22 is a simplified customs declaration for parcels up to 2 kg and €270 in value. Completed at the post office or generated by the carrier. Without CN22, the parcel may be held at customs.
Prohibited items
These items cannot be shipped to Ireland.
- Weapons and ammunition
