Parcels sent from Britain to Ireland drop by 68%
The Republic of Ireland’s postal service says it has seen a 68% drop in parcels coming from Great Britain since Brexit.An Post says no other EU country faces the same volume of non-EU parcels due to Ireland’s trading relationship with the UK.
An Post had previously said major British brands such as M&S and River Island had worked with them to provide a simple and clear "duty paid" facility at the online checkout to pay all VAT and customs charges up front.However, it said difficulties were being experienced by small business or individual personal customers who were unaware of the "new complex data and tax requirements" which have applied from July 2021.
Northern Ireland could have faced similar difficulties under the Northern Ireland Protocol but EU rules were never implemented on GB-NI parcels due to a grace period.
