Import Duty and Taxes FAQ
What is import duty?
Import duty is a tax imposed by a government on goods from other countries. This added tax on imported goods is aimed to make foreign products less desirable and encourage supporting the domestic market.
How can I avoid being charged import taxes in Ireland?
Not paying taxes is tax evasion, which we don't encourage. It's not worth risking your business getting fined. It's best to know any customs duty rate amount that is applicable to your shipment, and be upfront with customers on pricing. Use the import taxes calculator for an estimate or visit our countries information for an individual breakdown.
What happens if I under declare the value of my item?
The customs authority can easily check your business website and other sources to verify if the value listed matches the actual value of the item. Listing a lower value in order to avoid taxes is tax evasion and against the law.
