    I don't know any suppliers in the area you have identified but can help you in terms of your question from buying in the UK:
    1. You do not pay customs or excise duty from the UK
    2. If you are registered for VAT here, the UK supplier, once legit, should not charge you VAT, this is down to a double taxation agreement between Ireland and the UK.
    Are you looking to import big quantities if so I may be able to source a supplier?

    You only VAT on goods imported from non-EU countries. Have a good read of this: http://www.revenue.ie/en/customs/businesses/importing/index.html

    In terms of suppliers I wouldn't know much about that. But the UK could be your best bet
