    I live overseas in the developing world and want to support a local leather goods business. To that end, I want to place an order with them and export the goods to Ireland.

    This is very much a trial run - I don't have a VAT number in Ireland right now. I want to just get the goods across and test the market just to kick things off.

    Does anyone know what the import duties are for these types of goods?

    AFIK it depends very much on where 'overseas' is, there will be different tariffs on goods coming from different countries.



    Here is a database of the tariffs on goods coming into the EU, think your stuff may be found in section VIII. Good luck finding out exactly what rate applies... (you'll need it) :D

    Yeah, no shít!! I managed to get as far as that website last night....well, I mean I think I got it rounded down but they certainly don't make it easy! I guess I'll try and figure it out as best I can and then try and get in touch with someone in Revenue to confirm.

    Yeah I had a similar reaction when I had to use it for the first time.. Like that I eventually rang revenue, got chatting to a decent guy and we kinda figured it out between us what it was (0 rated thankfully); just remember VAT will be levied on the goods anyway, excise tax is the one that will vary.

    This is a nice website for seeing tariffs between countries once you know your HS code: http://tao.wto.org/report/ExportMarketV2.aspx

    You might have to set up an account but hit the link above, log in and then click 'Duties faced in export markets'. Enter necessary details and then you can see the tariffs when im/exporting to and from different countries.
