Customs Information for Northern Ireland

Following Brexit, Northern Ireland has retained access to the EU single market for goods under the Northern Ireland Protocol, due to its border with the Republic of Ireland, an EU member state.

This means that customs requirements differ from other UK countries for shipments to and from the EU, and there are also unique rules covering shipments to and from the rest of the UK. Please refer the UK government website for the most up-to-date advice.

Northern Ireland Post Codes

Northern Ireland quotes are valid for the following post codes:

  • All BT

A £10 charge applies if a DPD Northern Ireland collection is booked under "United Kingdom (Mainland)". For an accurate quote, please ensure "United Kingdom (Northern Ireland)" is selected on the quote form.

Importing Personal Effects to the UK

UK Customs (HMRC) have announced a new online process relating to importing household goods and personal effects to the UK as Transfer of Residence (ToR). Shippers are now required to make an application to HMRC prior to shipping from outside of the EU in order to claim VAT and duty relief for importing personal belongings.

The shipper must complete and sign the application form and provide any supporting documentation.

This is currently a "print-and-submit" procedure - all applications and supporting documentation must be sent by email, once signed, to [email protected].

The application must be made prior to shipping any consignments to the UK. If the applicant is successful in obtaining Transfer of Residence relief, the applicant will then be awarded unique declaration information in the form of an authorisation number, which can be included on the customs invoice (packing list).
