Shipping from Dubai
to Ireland.

Yes. Our movers and packers do the packing, wrapping and listing, then we ship your furniture and household goods in a full container, or share one if you have less to send. The item by item list matters, because customs clear personal effects against it. Fuel, gas cylinders, paint, aerosols and loose batteries cannot travel, and we give you the full list before packing day.

Sea freight to Ireland takes about 25 to 50 days, and air freight to Ireland takes 3 to 7 days. Ireland sits past the main European ports, so cargo transfers at a hub and then waits for the leg across, and that waiting is what sets the date rather than the distance. We give you a date in writing when we quote.

Because there is no direct sailing. Cargo from Dubai is worked at a European transhipment hub and then carried across to Ireland, and how long it waits for that leg is the variable. Economical routings can extend toward 50 days, which is why we ask how urgent the shipment is before recommending a mode.

Often on this lane, and we will price both. Air is 3 to 7 days against a sea leg that can approach seven weeks. That is a wide enough gap that the usual assumption about sea being the economical choice deserves checking once you count the cost of the delay.

It depends on what you send, how big it is, and where in Ireland it is going. We do not publish prices because every shipment is different. Sea freight to Ireland is priced per container when you fill one, and per cubic metre when you share one. Air freight to Ireland is priced on weight or size, whichever is greater. Send us the details and we send you a price in writing, usually the same day.

All of them. Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Waterford, Drogheda, Dundalk, Swords, Bray, Navan, Kilkenny, Ennis, Carlow, Tralee, Athlone and Letterkenny. Just give us the address and we bring it to the door.

Dublin is the largest general cargo and container gateway. Cork is an important southern gateway in its own right, not simply a smaller Dublin. Shannon Foynes handles bulk, project and industrial cargo on the estuary. For air cargo we fly into Dublin or Shannon.

Dublin for the east and national distribution. Cork if the delivery is in Cork, Waterford or the south, because it avoids the long road leg down from the capital. Routing from Dubai is carrier dependent, so we compare both rather than defaulting to Dublin.

It is a free trading number used across the European Union. Whoever imports the goods needs one and no customs operation happens without it. It is quick to get online, and we check it before we load.

It is the EU safety and security system. A filing called an Entry Summary Declaration has to reach EU customs before your goods arrive. The carrier files it and we supply the data.

Yes. We handle freight forwarding to Ireland door to door. We collect the goods in Dubai, move them, clear them through customs, and bring them to your address. You deal with one company for the whole journey.

You can send as little as one box or one pallet. We put small shipments from different customers into one shared container. This is called LCL, or less than container load. Your goods load at Jebel Ali and come into Dublin. When you have more goods, you move up to your own full container, which is called FCL. We will tell you which one is cheaper.

Yes. New and used vehicles from outside the EU can be imported subject to customs duty and VAT where applicable, and the vehicle has to be registered within the statutory period after arrival. Proof of customs clearance is needed for that registration, so keep the paperwork. Send us the make, model, year and chassis number and we will check before you buy.

You may, and it is two separate applications rather than one. Transfer of Residence relief covers customs duty and VAT on qualifying household goods and a private car. Vehicle Registration Tax relief is a different application with its own conditions and deadlines. Getting the first and assuming the second follows is where people get caught. Tell us your dates and we will set out both.

Yes, at both ends. We handle customs clearance in Dubai and customs clearance in Ireland. You do not need to find your own clearing agent.

Yes. We collect anywhere in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and the rest of the UAE. We can also hold your goods in warehousing and storage in Dubai until you are ready to ship. On a lane this long, getting the consolidation right before anything sails matters more than usual.
