A EURO pallet costs from 200 € gross, with no customs declaration on your side.

01 · WHO BOOKS AND PAYS

You can book the transport yourself — or leave it to your supplier

Either side can order: you as the buyer in Ireland or your supplier in Poland. If you book, we collect the goods from the supplier's address, deliver them to your address and invoice your company.

  • Invoice. A Polish VAT invoice issued to your company. An Irish company with a valid VAT number is invoiced under the reverse charge (we verify the number), so no Polish VAT is charged.
  • Payment. By bank transfer; the invoice is in euro.
  • Documents you receive. The invoice, the CMR consignment note and proof of delivery.

Your supplier ships, we carry, you receive.

04 · CUSTOMS

No customs declaration, no import duty

Poland and Ireland are both in the EU, so goods in EU free circulation need no customs declaration on your side. Our trucks travel via the Great Britain landbridge and that leg runs under T2 transit handled by Express Trucks. We only need an invoice or pro-forma from the shipper with the goods description, value, weight and HS/CN codes.

Excise goods and goods from outside the EU that have not been cleared are the exceptions. The details are in the guide: customs from Poland to Ireland and the UK landbridge.

05 · SEVERAL SUPPLIERS

Buying from more than one supplier? One delivery, one invoice

Your suppliers deliver to our depot in Września, we confirm every intake by email, combine the goods into one consignment and load it onto the next weekly departure. You get one delivery to your address in Ireland and one invoice, and every pallet delivered to the depot is 20 € cheaper.

07 · QUESTIONS

Importing from Poland: questions

Can I, as the buyer in Ireland, book and pay for the collection from my Polish supplier?

How much does transport from Poland to Ireland cost?

One EURO pallet (120×80 cm, up to 120 cm high and 500 kg) costs from 200 € gross to Dublin and surroundings, 210 € to most of Ireland and 230 € to Donegal, Kerry and Mayo. A full truck (33 EURO pallets) costs €5,500–6,500 net. Prices valid as of 2026-11-14.

On average 4–6 business days from collection. We collect in Poland from Tuesday to Thursday and the truck leaves every Friday.

No. Goods in EU free circulation move from Poland to Ireland without a customs declaration and without import duty. Our trucks cross Great Britain under T2 transit, which Express Trucks prepares.

What invoice do I get?

A Polish VAT invoice issued to your company, plus a CMR and proof of delivery. An Irish company with a valid VAT number is invoiced under the reverse charge, so no Polish VAT is charged.
