Reliable courier services are readily available in Ireland through both international and indigenous express delivery services.  Express service points are serviced at several locations around the country. Average delivery time from Ireland to most parts of the U.S. is two days, with one day to the east coast.

The de minimis value for Ireland for which no duty or tax is collected is €150 (customs duties) and €22 (VAT).  The informal national threshold entry is €260.  There is no relief from the payment of Customs Duty, VAT or Excise Duty on low value consignments, irrespective of their value, of  tobacco, tobacco products, alcohol products, and perfumes or toilet waters.
