Prohibited and Restricted Items To Ireland
Some items cannot be exported to Ireland, or are subject to restrictions. Failing to observe regulations on prohibited and restricted items could lead to shipments being delayed, seized or destroyed, so it’s vital to understand the legal requirements before you begin shipping your goods. Items that cannot be shipped to Ireland include:
Dairy products (including milk, milk products and eggs)
Explosives and fireworks
Firearms
Hay or straw (even if used as packing)
Indecent or obscene material (books, periodicals, prints, and video recordings)
Live animals (including fish)
Meat and meat products
Certain foodstuffs (with specific exceptions)
Offensive weapons
Plants or bulbs
Ireland Shipping Paperwork
In some cases, you may be able to ship these items with the correct permits or other paperwork, but many cannot be shipped under any circumstances. The specific requirements will often differ for different categories of items, meaning that the steps you need to take will depend on the items you want to ship.
Further information can be found on the Office of Revenue Commissioners’ website or by contacting the relevant authorities in Ireland. For more specific guidance, you can contact your World Options account manager for advice on the specific steps you should take to ship any restricted items to Ireland.
What Irish Customs Or Duties Should I Be Aware Of?
Shipping to Ireland from the UK has changed since Brexit took effect. With the UK now outside the EU, it is subject to stricter customs rules about importing certain items into the bloc and this means that more items are now restricted or prohibited from shipping to Ireland from the UK.
All items imported to the EU are now subject to VAT. Items with a value of less than €22 were previously exempt from VAT, but this exemption was removed in 2021 and now all items are subject to this regulation. This will include any items shipped from the UK to Ireland.
