Important Notes for Moving to Ireland
- ✓Brexit Impact: Ireland is the main EU entry point. Shipments from India that previously transited the UK are now routed directly to Dublin to avoid non-EU (UK) customs complications.
- ✓Customs Exemption: Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief is available, allowing you to import personal household goods duty-free when moving your main residence to Ireland.
- ✓Ports of Entry: We utilize Dublin Port or Cork Port for all sea freight arrivals.
- ✓Accommodation & Storage: Dublin has a very tight rental market. Many Indian families need temporary storage for 2–4 weeks while finding permanent accommodation. We offer flexible storage-in-transit solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the customs process for bringing household goods to Ireland?▼
If you are transferring your normal residence from India to Ireland, you can claim Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief to avoid duties. We guide you through the required documentation.
Does Brexit affect my shipment from India to Ireland?▼
No, because we route shipments directly into Irish ports (like Dublin) rather than transiting through the UK, ensuring your goods remain under standard EU import rules without extra delays.
How long does shipping from Mumbai or Delhi to Dublin take?▼
Sea freight from Indian ports to Dublin generally takes 20-28 days. Air freight takes 3-5 days for urgent, smaller shipments.
Do you offer temporary storage in Ireland while we find accommodation?▼
Yes. Due to the competitive housing market in cities like Dublin, we offer secure storage-in-transit options so your goods are safe until your new home is ready.
What's the best shipping option — sea or air — for a move to Dublin?▼
Sea freight is best for large household moves (furniture, many boxes) as it is much more cost-effective. Air freight is ideal for a few essential boxes you need immediately upon arrival.
