Dublin Bonded Storage & Customs Clearance

Get Cracking provides professional bonded storage in Dublin and customs clearance services for household goods, personal effects and suitable commercial shipments moving to, from or through Ireland.

Our dedicated customs team, secure storage facilities and transport operation allow us to coordinate multiple stages of an international shipment through one company — from arrival and customs formalities to storage, onward transportation and final delivery.

We assist private customers, businesses, international moving companies, relocation specialists and overseas moving partners requiring reliable customs clearance and bonded storage in Ireland.

Bonded Storage in Dublin

Our Dublin bonded storage service provides customs-controlled storage for eligible non-EU goods while the appropriate customs procedure is being completed.

Customs warehousing can allow non-EU goods to be stored without immediate payment of Customs Duty and VAT while they remain under the relevant customs procedure. Irish Revenue confirms that customs warehousing can suspend customs charges and VAT while qualifying goods remain in the warehouse.

This can be useful where a shipment arrives before customs formalities have been completed, where documentation is outstanding or where goods need to remain under customs control before their next movement.

Once the appropriate customs procedure has been completed, Get Cracking can coordinate release, transfer to general storage, onward transportation or final delivery.

Customs Clearance in Dublin

Get Cracking provides import and export customs clearance in Dublin as part of our international moving and logistics services.

Our customs team can assist with the documentation and customs procedures applicable to household goods, personal effects and suitable commercial shipments.

Because we also provide transport and storage, customers can combine customs clearance, bonded storage, collection and final delivery rather than arranging each stage with a different supplier.

The exact procedure depends on the origin and destination of the goods, their customs status and the type of shipment.

Import Customs Clearance Ireland

For goods arriving into Ireland from outside the EU, Get Cracking can coordinate the applicable import customs clearance process.

Services can include customs documentation, communication relating to the clearance, bonded storage where appropriate and onward delivery following release.

For household removals, we can also guide customers through the documentation required when moving their normal residence to Ireland.

Transfer of Residence – Moving to Ireland

Customers moving their normal residence to Ireland from outside the EU may, subject to eligibility conditions, qualify for Transfer of Residence relief from Customs Duty and VAT on certain personal property and household effects.

Get Cracking can assist customers with the moving and customs process and explain the documentation normally required for their shipment.

Revenue currently advises that the customer or their authorised agent should submit the completed application and supporting documentation approximately two weeks before the goods arrive.

Eligibility for any customs relief is ultimately determined by Irish Revenue.

Export Customs Clearance

Get Cracking can also coordinate export customs clearance for eligible shipments leaving Ireland for destinations outside the EU.

This can form part of a complete international moving service incorporating:

• Collection throughout Ireland
• Professional packing and export wrapping
• Custom crating
• Export customs procedures
• Storage
• Road, sea or air transportation
• Destination services
• Final delivery

Our team can advise on the information and documentation required for the particular shipment and destination.

T1 & T2 Customs Transit

Get Cracking can assist with T1 and T2 customs transit movements where applicable.

T1 is generally used for movements of non-Union goods under customs control, while T2 is an internal Union transit procedure used in applicable circumstances. Revenue operates these electronic transit procedures through the New Computerised Transit System (NCTS).

Transit procedures can be particularly important when goods need to travel under customs control before being presented at the appropriate destination.

Our customs team can review the route and customs status of the goods and determine the appropriate procedure for the shipment.

Bonded and Non-Bonded Storage

Not every shipment requires customs-controlled storage.

Get Cracking provides both bonded storage and secure managed storage in Dublin, allowing us to provide an appropriate solution according to the customs status of the shipment.

Our Dublin storage services can be combined with collection, packing, customs clearance and onward delivery.

This is particularly useful where a customer’s property is not ready, an international shipment is delayed or goods need to remain in storage before onward transportation.

Customs Clearance & Final Delivery Throughout Ireland

One of the major advantages of combining customs clearance with Get Cracking’s moving operation is that we can continue handling the shipment after customs release.

We can coordinate customs clearance, bonded storage, warehouse handling and final delivery throughout Dublin and Ireland.

For international moving companies and relocation partners, we can also provide destination services including delivery, unpacking and removal of used packing materials where arranged.

International Road, Sea & Air Services

Our customs services can be combined with international transportation by road, sea or air.

For overseas household moves and larger international shipments, see our Sea Freight services and Worldwide Relocations.

Get Cracking also operates its own European transport fleet, allowing customs services to be combined with road transportation between Ireland, the UK and destinations throughout Europe.

Professional Packing & Custom Crating

Where required, our customs and storage services can be combined with professional packing services.

We provide full and partial packing, export wrapping, furniture protection and specialist custom crating for belongings requiring additional protection during international transportation.
