Shipping to Dublin
Dublin Port, at the mouth of the Liffey, is Ireland's largest port and close to the city centre. It serves Dublin and Leinster, including Kildare, Meath and Wicklow.
Practical tips. Household goods are free of duty and VAT under the EU transfer-of-residence relief; the claim is made to Revenue with form C&E 1076, and goods must have been owned for six months. Many international technology and pharmaceutical companies have their European headquarters in Dublin and offer relocation support.
Dublin's Georgian terraces and narrow streets can be hard for large trucks, and parking for a moving van needs a permit. Housing is in high demand, so many newcomers store part of their goods until they find a permanent home.
The port tunnel takes trucks from the port directly to the M50 ring road.
