Ireland maintains growing trade links with China for electronics, pharmaceuticals, machinery, apparel, and consumer goods. Irish importers, wholesalers, Amazon sellers, and brands often manage EU import rules, VAT requirements, port choices, and the need to balance cost with reliable delivery across the island.
GreenPlusExport's China-based team coordinates the full process: supplier liaison, quality control, freight forwarding by sea or air, documentation preparation, and support for delivery to Irish warehouses or distribution centers. We help reduce common uncertainties in the shipping journey.
Shipping costs depend on method, volume, and route. Sea freight (FCL) typically ranges $1,800–$4,000 for a 20ft container or $2,500–$4,500 for 40ft to Irish ports. Air freight averages $4–$9 per kg for time-sensitive or high-value goods. Extra costs include origin handling, quality inspections ($100–$300), inland transport in China, EU duties, and 23% VAT. End-to-end timelines commonly run 6–13 weeks including sourcing and production.
