In short: From 1 July, a new Customs Duty of €3 for each item in a parcel will apply to goods bought online from non-EU countries, including Great Britain. If the package contains identical items, these are considered one item and there will be a €3 Customs Duty charge, plus VAT, due.

So when you order 1000 parts in 10 lots from a seller in the UK, there will be a €30 customs duty on your parcel, as well as the VAT and the admin fee (€6.95 for An Post).

"This change is designed to ensure fairness for Irish and EU businesses."
