Importing to Ireland

Thanks to a decision to invest in telecommunications infrastructure more than two decades ago, the Republic of Ireland has cemented itself as the choice location for big tech companies building European data centers. The country is also home to hundreds of tech start-ups and SMEs and is an ideal location for colocation hubs. When looking to get your tech goods and equipment into Ireland, you will need an IOR that understands complex and ever-changing Irish compliance requirements – not to mention expertise in EORI numbers as well.

Pain Points

Trade Pain Points and Possibilities

As with any other EU member state, anyone wanting to import into the Republic of Ireland will need to list an Importer of Record with an EORI number to take responsibility for the shipment. The EORI number helps the Irish customs track the shipment throughout Europe.

Despite having a relatively moderate duty rate, the import tax rate in Ireland is quite high, and Irish import compliance and regulations can be confusing as the international trade market is constantly changing.

Brexit has also thrown a spanner into the works, having effectively cut off the free trade relationship between the UK and the Republic of Ireland. The IOR will need in-depth knowledge of both countries to streamline imports and exports across the border.
