Ireland rules to know before you pack
EU rules, not UK rules
Ireland follows EU customs rules. Irish Revenue explains how VAT and duty apply to goods arriving from outside the EU.
No meat or dairy
The European Commission says personal consignments of meat and dairy products from non-EU countries are not allowed.
Eircode
Every Irish address has a 7-character Eircode (for example “D02 X285”). It is the fastest way to find the door.
Gifts
Gifts between private people get only a small allowance before VAT and duty apply. Declare gifts clearly and at their true value.
Documents needed
- Your ID proof (KYC): a copy of your Aadhaar, passport or PAN card. Courier exports from India are declared electronically under CBIC’s courier regulations, and the sender’s identity is part of that declaration.
- Contents list: every item with quantity and a fair value, for example “3 cotton kurtas” or “1 kg mango pickle, homemade”. Mark gifts as gifts.
- Receiver’s details: full name, house or apartment number, street, town, county, Eircode and an Irish phone number.
- Business shipments: a commercial invoice, plus the exporter’s IEC and GST details where they apply.

Packing tips for Ireland
- Use a strong, right-sized carton. A box that is too big adds volumetric weight.
- Seal jars with cling film under the lid, tape the lid, then double-bag each jar in zip-lock bags.
- Vacuum-seal or double-bag sweets, snacks and spices so smells and oil stay inside.
- Wrap fragile items separately and fill every gap so nothing moves.
- Write the receiver’s address and phone clearly, and put a copy inside the box.
Step by step: how to pack a parcel for international courier.
Items you cannot send
Every carrier and country keeps its own list, but these are refused almost everywhere:
- Cash, currency, cheques and precious metals
- Weapons, ammunition, explosives and fireworks
- Flammable items: lighters, matches, fuel, paints, many aerosols and perfumes
- Loose lithium batteries and e-cigarettes
- Narcotics and any medicine not checked with us first
- Counterfeit goods and anything illegal in Ireland
Medicines have special rules: read sending medicines abroad.
How the price works
We do not publish a fixed rate card because carrier rates change. The courier price to Ireland depends on the carrier and the chargeable weight: whichever is higher of the actual weight and the volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is length × width × height (cm) ÷ 5000. For example, a 50 × 54 × 34 cm box has a volumetric weight of 18.36 kg, even if it weighs less on the scale. Try your box:
Send us the weight, box size and contents on WhatsApp and we will share today’s price for Ireland.

How do I send a courier from Hyderabad to Ireland?
Send us a WhatsApp message on +91 80745 34299 with what you are sending, the approximate weight or box size and the receiver’s city in Ireland. We share the price and options, then pick up from your home in Hyderabad or you can drop the parcel at our shop in Edi Bazaar (open 10 AM – 11 PM, every day).
Can I send food or pickles to Ireland?
The European Union does not allow personal parcels of meat or dairy products from non-EU countries such as India. That rules out chicken, mutton and prawn pickles, ghee, paneer and khoya-based sweets. Veg pickles, spices, dry snacks and packed sweets without dairy are the safer choice; tell us exactly what is inside.
What details do I need for the receiver in Ireland?
The receiver’s full name, house or apartment number, street, town, county, Eircode and an Irish phone number. Along with this we need your ID proof (Aadhaar, passport or PAN) and a list of the items with their values.
How is the courier price to Ireland calculated?
The price depends on the destination, the carrier and the chargeable weight. Carriers charge whichever is higher: the actual weight or the volumetric weight (length × width × height in cm ÷ 5000). Send us the weight and box size on WhatsApp for today’s price.
Are the rules for Ireland the same as the UK?
No. Ireland is in the EU, so EU customs and food rules apply, and Irish Revenue handles VAT and duty. Northern Ireland is part of the UK and has its own arrangements.
Which courier companies do you use for Ireland?
We book through international networks such as DHL, FedEx, Aramex, UPS and Atlantic, choosing the option that suits your parcel and destination. You get a tracking number, and you can track it on our website.
