"Any Irish-based business or individual sending a parcel worth more than $100 to the US will have to ensure the US-based recipient has paid any tariffs owed. An Post has developed the new procedure with a US postal partner. Under the new rules, Irish parcel senders need to alert the US recipient of their requirement to pay taxes on the item being shipped. An Post's US partner will then contact the customer to collect the payment securely."
"The new rules on packages worth more than $100 (€85) are intended to deal with new taxes being imposed by the Trump administration on parcels entering the US from tomorrow. Several European and Asian carriers - including Swiss Post and DHL - as well as Australia Post, have already paused shipments to the US because of the new rules. An Post said its new process would involve little change for Irish business customers,"
New rules require that any parcel sent to the US worth more than $100 (€85) have US recipient payment of tariffs confirmed before shipment. The regime begins tomorrow and targets taxes being imposed by the Trump administration on incoming parcels. Several European and Asian carriers, including Swiss Post and DHL, and Australia Post have paused shipments to the US. An Post developed a new procedure with a US postal partner. Senders must alert US recipients of the payment requirement. The US partner will contact recipients to collect payment securely. Unpaid parcels will be returned to the Irish sender. Once tax is collected, An Post will forward the parcel and remit the tax and associated data to US authorities. Traditional letters and lower-value parcels remain unaffected. Registered post to the US will no longer be available.
