Dear Customer,
With only a few more working days left before Brexit hits us, there is an urgent need to address shipping processes in order to avoid a complete disruption of your UK–Ireland or Ireland-UK shipments.
If you are importing from the UK via IEC/ TPN please read this section very carefully.
When booking import shipments with us, you will have to log the job on our web portal and ensure all the following 11 fields are completed on screen and then upload the invoice from your supplier to the job on our portal.
| 1 | Shippers address, VAT and EORI no. | 6 | Country of origin |
| 2 | Consignees address, VAT and EORI no. | 7 | Description of products |
| 3 | Incoterms (usually CIF) | 8 | TH (commodity code, taric) |
| 4 | currency | 9 | Quantity of items |
| 5 | Value | 10 | Nett weight and gross weight in kilos |
| 11 | Invoice no. and date |
You will also have to ensure your UK supplier has authorised our partners TPN UK to act as their customs broker for export entries out of the UK. The attached form for this has probably been sent to your shipper already directly from the UK but please make sure this is done to avoid a delay and it only needs to be done once.
Please email us some recent invoices and we will advise you on helpful changes to streamline the process and keep the cost of customs clearance as low as possible.

Charges for Customs Clearance
We are automating the process as much as possible in our efforts to keep the cost down and you are complying fully with the above will facilitate that. However initially we have no option but to charge for these processes as follows:
| Irish Import or Irish Export Clearance | €28 | ||
| UK import or UK Export Clearance | €42 | Total both sides of Irish Sea | €70 |
| Per additional TH after two | €5 | ||
| Import Clearance where Entry done by others | €12 |
Please call us or email with any queries you have and we will endeavour to assist you in any way we can and hopefully we will all get over this major change in how we trade with the UK in a reasonable way.
