Goods bought in Poland and delivered to Ireland stay inside the EU, so there is no customs declaration and no import duty. Our trucks cross Great Britain under T2 transit, which Express Trucks prepares for every load. You supply one invoice; we do the rest.
Poland and Ireland are both EU member states. Goods in EU free circulation move from Poland to Ireland without a customs declaration and without import duty — also when the truck drives through Great Britain on the way.
The crossing of Great Britain is covered by T2 transit. Express Trucks opens and closes it for every load, so the sender in Poland and the recipient in Ireland file nothing. What we need is a commercial invoice or pro-forma with the goods description, value, weight and HS/CN codes.
One invoice from the supplier. No customs paperwork on your desk.
Our trucks reach Ireland by the Great Britain landbridge: ferry to Britain, road across, ferry to Dublin. Because that leg crosses non-EU territory, the goods travel on it under T2 transit and keep their EU status the whole way. When the truck lands in Ireland the transit is closed and the goods are delivered like any other EU consignment.
The transit across Great Britain is part of the normal schedule: delivery takes 4–6 business days on average from collection, and the price does not change — a EURO pallet up to 120 cm and 500 kg costs from 200 € gross to the Dublin area (price list).
VAT on the goods follows the EU rules for trade between member states; check your own position with your accountant.
Some consignments still need customs formalities, for example:
In those cases we arrange the declaration at a customs office — tell us about the goods when you book.
Under the Windsor Framework, Northern Ireland follows EU rules for goods. Goods in EU free circulation travel from Poland to Northern Ireland without customs declarations, on the same route and under the same T2 transit. Northern Ireland has one rate for every BT postcode, in pounds — a EURO pallet from £210. Details: transport from Poland to Northern Ireland.
No. Poland and Ireland are both in the EU, so goods in EU free circulation move between them without a customs declaration and without import duty. This also holds when the truck crosses Great Britain, because that leg runs under T2 transit.
T2 is the customs transit procedure that lets EU goods cross a non-EU country, here Great Britain, and keep their EU status. Express Trucks opens and closes the T2 transit for every load, so neither the sender nor the recipient files anything.
A commercial invoice or pro-forma from the shipper with the goods description, value, weight and HS/CN codes. The driver signs the CMR consignment note at loading.
No. Delivery from Poland to an address in Ireland takes 4–6 business days on average, with the transit across Great Britain included.
For excise goods (alcohol, tobacco, fuel), which move with an electronic administrative document (e-AD), for goods that are not in EU free circulation, and for goods subject to prohibitions or restrictions. In those cases we arrange the declaration at a customs office.
Under the Windsor Framework, Northern Ireland follows EU rules for goods, so goods in EU free circulation travel from Poland to Northern Ireland without customs declarations as well. The route and the T2 transit are the same.
