Send parcel to Ireland

Since the plurality of goods arriving come from outside the Union, so many provisions are particularly catchy. Provisions throughout the European Union forbid, for example, the import of plants or certain foodstuffs from non-EU countries. The background is simply explained: the health of the person and the animals must be safeguarded. For this reason, merchandise of this type can only be imported with special licenses. Otherwise they are confiscated directly at the entrance from the customs authorities. In Ireland this entity is called Revenue, available on the official website www.revenue.ie
