Shipping to Ireland. By road and sea, from Brescia.
From Brescia we ship to Ireland by road and sea with scheduled departures: pickup, documents and delivery handled by a single contact.
Ireland, by road and sea.
We deliver throughout the country: Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick. Ireland is reached through France and the direct ferries to Irish ports, or via the United Kingdom: in that case the British leg travels under customs transit, because the United Kingdom is no longer part of the European Union. We adapt each shipment to the goods and timing, and keep you updated from pickup to delivery.

We plan pickup and delivery dates for Ireland with you, from one-off loads to recurring shipments.
From a single pallet to a full load
We size the shipment to your goods, from a single pallet to a full truck, with delivery in Ireland.

Two ways to Ireland.
Direct, or across Great Britain
After Brexit there are two ways to reach Ireland by road. The first is the direct link: the goods cross France and board ferries to Irish ports such as Rosslare, Dublin and Cork, staying inside the EU throughout. The second is the so-called landbridge across Great Britain, shorter by sea but with a leg outside the EU.
The landbridge and T1 transit
When goods pass through Great Britain, they travel under T1 transit with the NCTS system, which the United Kingdom and the EU apply together under the Common Transit Convention: the goods keep their status as Union goods and pay no British duty. A transit guarantee is needed, however, as are formalities at the British ports of embarkation and landing. We choose the solution that best suits the load with you.
Documents between businesses
Ireland is in the European Union and the euro area: business-to-business sales follow the intra-EU rules, with customer VAT number checked on VIES, invoice without Italian VAT and proof of delivery, such as the signed CMR. Deliveries to Northern Ireland follow EU rules on goods under the Windsor Framework, but should be clearly stated at quotation stage because the route and transport documents change.
Dangerous goods on ferries
Dangerous goods travel under ADR by road and the IMDG Code on the sea leg. Shipping lines may apply their own limits or require advance booking of dangerous cargo: we check this before confirming departure. For firearms and ammunition Ireland has very restrictive legislation, and the authorisations for transfers between EU countries are required.
Addresses and Eircodes
In Ireland every address has a unique postcode, the Eircode, which identifies the individual building. Many rural addresses have no house number, and without an Eircode delivery can become difficult: always ask the consignee for it and show it on order and invoice. A phone contact to arrange unloading also helps, especially for deliveries to building sites or farms.
The United Kingdom and Ireland in the same shipment
Companies selling to both Ireland and Great Britain need to keep the two flows separate: for Ireland the goods are Union goods and travel under intra-EU rules, while Great Britain requires customs. Even when the packages travel on the same vehicle, invoices, documents and Incoterms must be kept separate for each consignee, so that no problems arise at British clearance.

Yes, by road under ADR, with trained staff and a warehouse with dedicated areas in Brescia. We check feasibility starting from the safety data sheet of the goods. For firearms and ammunition we assess each shipment against the applicable authorisations.
