Ireland · Import & Export Compliance
Customs registration, controlled/restricted goods, sanctions screening, and the official customs authority.
AI-drafted, editorially reviewed. Confirm specifics with the official authority.
Ireland is inside the EU customs union and customs is administered by Revenue rather than a separate agency. Trade with other member states involves no customs declaration, only VAT and statistical reporting. The consequence that shapes Irish trade more than any other is that Great Britain is now a third country: goods moving to or from it need declarations, an EORI number, classification and origin, while movements to and from Northern Ireland follow their own arrangements.
- Customs sits inside Revenue rather than in a separate customs agency.
- Great Britain is a third country, so trade with it needs full customs formalities.
- Movements with Northern Ireland follow their own separate arrangements.
