Shipping to Belfast and Northern Ireland
Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, is part of the United Kingdom, although the carrier lists it under Ireland. Its port serves Northern Ireland, including Derry, Lisburn and Newry.
UK rules apply. Household goods for Northern Ireland are cleared under the UK Transfer of Residence relief: apply online to HMRC with form ToR01 before the goods arrive. Commercial importers need an XI EORI number under the Windsor Framework arrangements.
Belfast's Titanic Quarter and growing technology sector attract international professionals. Northern Ireland uses the pound sterling, and invoices in English are standard.
Belfast's shipyard, where the Titanic was built, now hosts film studios and technology companies. The city is about two hours by road from Dublin, and many people live in one jurisdiction and work in the other, so make sure the final address is clear on the booking.
