Export to Republic of Ireland pre or post Brexit

Export to Republic of Ireland pre or post Brexit

Didn't find your answer?

Hi,

 

We are in the process of finishing a machine which will be shipped to customer in Republic of Ireland. The machine is still not ready and we do not think it will be ready by 31/12/2020.

Could you please let me know what implications will arise if we ship it after 1st January 2021?

Can you explain briefly a process? Apologies, as it seems to be basic question, however, this is new to me.

I believe we will need to submit export declaration and pay duties based on tariff? Is tariff the same for all machinery?

For the future machines, which incoterms should we use in order for us not to pay any tariffs?

 

All the answers will be very much appreciated,

Jo

Are you in Great Britain?
There's guidance here :
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/moving-goods-into-out-of-or-through-northern...

In short, there should be no duties or taxes on goods moving from GB to NI but there may be additional declarations and returns.

Nobody's really sure but the general thrust of opinion seems to be you'll be grand.

Depends if Boris manages to concentrate for a whole half an hour while Ursuala patiently explains you cant have free trade without being a rule taker to the EU, and then shows Boris an Atlas when he asks about Canada, while he says piffle poffle, you kraut lasses have got me there, would you be a love and say you have backed down, if we say yes?

The link provided may still help.
But mostly, until we have a deal or no deal, no-one knows

You might want to find the potential duty on your machinery. If it's a lot, might be worth some overtime to ensure you do deliver before end December.

Machinery is my 'thing' too.

Duties will be what duties will be - but you might want to check the changes to CE marking etc.
Basically, after January UK manufacturers cannot CE mark equipment any more. You will either need to authorised EU representative to do the CE marking for you, or have a legal entity in the EU.

The legal entity will need to be able to provide details of the machine technical file to regulators if required.

TBH I would send direct to Ireland rather than making life hard by trying to send it via NI first.

tariff checker here https://www.check-future-uk-trade-tariffs.service.gov.uk/tariff

The Common external tariff is the import duty which ROI will collect on import. UK global tariff is what we will be charging to import post 1/1/21.

If you use the search box to get the exact type of machine involved, the first column is the commodity code which your carrier will need to complete the relevant declarations for you.

I hope your contract is DAP (delivered at place) rather than DDP (delivered duty paid)

Indeed, who would countenance DDP at this time.
