The impact of Brexit on delivery to the Republic of Ireland
As of January 1st 2021, the UK has officially left the EU - but what does this mean for Ireland parcel delivery? Thankfully, although the UK may no longer be a part of the EU, you won't need to change your delivery method when posting to the Republic of Ireland. While there may be additional admin required, we will handle this to the best of our ability.
Certain items are either completely restricted in Ireland or require you to hold a particular permit or a license. Below you will find a few of these, but note that not all are included:
- - Most paints (due to toxicity)
- - Deodorants, fuels and other flammable products
- - Acids, batteries and other corrosive substances
- - Ink and toner cartridges, either in printers or separately packed
- - Hay or straw (even if used for packing)
There are also limitations on the number of certain items brought in, such as beer and cigarettes. To be safe, research the official Republic of Ireland documentation on the matter.
