Ireland Shipping Options

Choose the Right Option for Your Ireland Freight

Shipment size, timing and delivery requirements help determine the right transportation option. Averitt can coordinate ocean and air freight to and from Ireland, with customs support and inland transportation connected to your shipment.

Full Container Load

For shipments requiring a full container (FCL), Averitt coordinates ocean transportation and the pickup and delivery services needed at either end.

For U.S.-bound shipments, our team can connect international transportation with customs clearance, PortSide® drayage, Distribution & Fulfillment, and LTL or Truckload delivery. That helps keep your inbound freight and domestic distribution working together through one logistics partner.

Ireland Freight Gateways

Ireland’s Ports and Air Cargo Gateways

Planning Your Ireland Shipment

Prepare Your Freight for Customs and Delivery

Preparing shipment information and documentation early helps keep international transportation and customs coordination aligned. Start with an accurate description of your goods, shipment value, country of origin, package dimensions and weights, and complete shipper and consignee details.

Ireland is part of the European Union. Customs formalities apply to trade with countries outside the EU, including the United States. Traders importing or exporting goods into or out of the EU need an Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number. Prepare commercial and transport documents and confirm the applicable customs declarations, commodity classification, origin information and any product-specific permits or approvals.

Averitt’s international team can help coordinate customs support as part of your transportation plan. Before shipping, confirm who will handle customs clearance, duties and taxes, and final delivery so each party understands its responsibilities.
