Northern Ireland Shipping Guide

Northern Ireland Shipping Guide

Brexit and COVID-19 have dramatically impacted trade between the Mainland UK and Northern Ireland. Compared to the free trade that once occurred, businesses must dutifully follow numerous rules and regulations. If you’re looking to ship goods to Northern Ireland, YDL is here to help. As experts in business logistics, we’re here to help you deliver goods to Northern Ireland efficiently and smoothly. Learn more about the new protocols in our Norther Ireland Shipping Guide here.

How to Ship to Northern Ireland

Before Brexit, trade between Northern Ireland and the UK was simple as they were considered wholly one entity. Consequently, rules that applied to the UK also applied to Northern Ireland. However, following Brexit, the UK government and the EU created new regulations specific to Northern Ireland trade. The government officially considers these temporary, but the latest update to Norther Ireland trade guidance was in July of 2021.

Shipping to Consumers in Northern Ireland

Suppose you have customers on a consumer level in Northern Ireland. In that case, there are no new requirements for the customer receiving goods. Likewise, if you are shipping items to a business, and the total value of the goods is under £135, the company in Northern Ireland also doesn’t need to accommodate any new requirements.

Shipping Goods under £135 in Northern Ireland

A few extra steps are required to ship goods under £135 to a business in Northern Ireland. Any excise goods that are already UK duty paid do not need to be declared to customers. However, there is still a liability to excise duty in Northern Ireland. This is offset by any paid in the UK, however. Check out the UK Government page for more information.
