Summary
Starting July 1, 2026, Irish online shoppers buying from outside the EU will face a new 3 euro customs duty per item—no matter how small—on packages under 150 euros, which currently carry no duty. This applies individually to each product, so ordering multiple items means paying the fee multiple times. The move aims to level the playing field for local businesses. Charges may appear at checkout or be collected by delivery. Always check site terms, especially if the site uses an Irish domain or displays euro prices but ships internationally—returns rarely refund the duty unless the item is faulty. Prepare for extra costs and read the fine print before buying. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
