    doubt it makes one bit of difference, even if they made them in Ireland your going to have to pay duty from stuff coming in from outside the EU.

    I have found that items under 100 euro are ok.

    99% of the time yes yuo will be hit for customs, the very rare time on anything over 100 euro you will get away with it.

    There was a bit on RTÉ News just there about Revenue cracking down on things coming into Ireland.

    The guy said that while it differs from place to place (or is it case to case?) generally speaking anything under €45 will get through with out an additional fee. I was under the impression anything over €25 could get stopped in theory...

    You will not have to pay import duty as they were made in the EU, could still still be charged VAT though.

    €22 for normal items, €45 for products marked as gifts. Most big online stores will not mark things as gifts. Also that value includes postage. A letter sent to you with a sheet of paper inside but couriered for €23 is technically allowed to be charged for duty.

    They can only process so many items a day so will go for higher cost packages.
