Send a Parcel to Ireland from Great Britain
Prepare Great Britain-to-Ireland parcels as an international customs movement with clear goods data and a complete Eircode where available.
Understand the job before choosing the service.
Goods moving from Great Britain into Ireland enter the EU customs territory, so customs information is required even though the countries are geographically close.
A complete delivery address and Eircode can materially improve routing. For goods, the customs declaration should match the actual contents, value and purpose of shipment.
Northern Ireland is a different regulatory case from the Republic of Ireland, so customers should not use this page as a substitute for NI-specific shipping rules.

Frequently asked questions
Can Megway tell me the exact import tax for Ireland?
Megway can help prepare the shipment, but final customs charges depend on the goods, value, origin and destination rules. A generic website page cannot guarantee the final assessment.
Can I send gifts to Ireland?
Usually, subject to commodity restrictions and customs rules. Gifts should still be described accurately and given realistic values.
Can Megway pack the parcel before shipping?
Professional packing is available at participating locations and can be combined with international shipping.
Can I send several boxes to Ireland?
Potentially. Each package still needs its own weight, dimensions and label, and multi-piece availability depends on the selected courier service.
