Sea freight to and from Ireland
As a professional who needs to ship goods to or from Ireland, you already know that port choice, transit time, and cost control directly affect your margins. Between Dublin, Cork, and transshipment hubs in the UK or mainland Europe, each route in sea freight requires precise alignment between carrier capacity, customs clearance, and inland haulage. However, rate volatility and limited sailings on certain trade lanes can quickly impact your supply chain if decisions lack market insight.
To keep control, you need more than space on a vessel, you need structured container transport planning, clear documentation flow, and anticipation of Irish port constraints. In practice, working with a licensed maritime freight forwarder in Ireland like DocShipper secures capacity, optimizes international maritime transport, and protects your performance over time.
Maritime containerization
You choose the right format for your cargo, FCL, LCL or RoRo, whether you move full container loads, consolidated pallets, or rolling equipment, always aligned with your volume and cost targets.
Logistics coordination
You benefit from full logistics coordination and maritime shipment tracking, with one dedicated contact who oversees your international transport to and from Ireland, ensures carrier follow up, and gives you clear visibility at every milestone.
Transport documentation
You rely on us for complete maritime documentation to and from Ireland, from bills of lading to customs files aligned with Irish Revenue rules, and you receive a detailed quotation within 24 hours.
Tailor-made solutions
You get tailor made maritime transport built around your sector constraints, delivery deadlines, and volume forecasts, with professional sea freight solutions fully aligned with your broader international logistics strategy.
Air freight to and from Ireland
As an experienced air forwarder, we organize air freight solutions to and from Ireland via Dublin, Shannon, and Cork airports. Shipment by plane is ideal for urgent deliveries, high-value products such as pharmaceuticals or electronics, and time-sensitive industrial parts. Our air logistics team manages standard cargo, oversized parcel transport, and secure transport of goods by air with full customs coordination for Irish and international trade.
While air transport ensures speed and reliability, it involves higher costs, strict size and weight limits, and specific export/import procedures, particularly post-Brexit for UK-related flows. We handle shipments starting from 100 kg or 0.5 m³, ensuring efficient processing and compliance.
Express freight
You can rely on us for urgent air freight shipments to and from Ireland, reducing transit times and helping you meet tight production or delivery deadlines without operational disruption.
Special parcels
We manage your oversized and heavy air parcels to and from Ireland, handling weight, dimensions, and airline compliance so your complex shipments move smoothly.
Protecting your goods
Your fragile or high-value goods moving through Dublin or Shannon are handled with secure air cargo procedures, specialized packaging, and close monitoring to ensure they arrive in Ireland or abroad in perfect condition.
Peace of mind
Through our global air freight network, you avoid customs and routing complexities linked to Ireland’s international trade, while we connect you confidently to markets across Europe, North America, and beyond.
Import and export customs clearance in Ireland
Importing and exporting goods to and from Ireland involves specific post-Brexit requirements, particularly for trade with Great Britain. Businesses must comply with Irish Revenue regulations, obtain a valid EORI number, and submit accurate customs declarations through the Automated Import System (AIS) or AEP platform. Additional controls may apply to agri-food products due to SPS checks, and errors in tariff classification can lead to delays, penalties, or unexpected customs duties. Movements involving Northern Ireland also require careful attention to EU and UK rules.
As a licensed customs broker in Ireland, we provide tailored customs clearance services, handling all customs formalities and ensuring full customs compliance with EU legislation. Our team acts as your customs representative, managing documentation, tariff codes, origin assessments, and communication with Irish Revenue to ensure efficient and reliable customs clearance procedures.

I contacted DocShipper to organize the import of board games from Asia to Switzerland. Despite my lack of experience in the field and the modest size of my request, my dealings with the staff were always professional and efficient. I received sound advice and the staff always took the time to answer my questions. I look forward to working with DocShipper for the import of my goods and highly recommend their services.

My name is Ad Van Den Bosh. I am a Dutch business man cross-trading in the Far East. I reached Robert Houwayek (DocShipper's representative) to clear a 40HC of greenhouse equipment from Qingdao, and deliver it to Lan Krabue in no time. He suggested that I request a Form E, which I did from the supplier, and was able to enjoy a preferential tariff treatment. DocShipper, a way to help you save both time and money!!

I recently used Docshipper to ship my appliances from Germany to Thailand, and I'm thrilled with the service I received! [...]The team was professional, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. The packaging and handling of my appliances were top-notch, and they arrived in perfect condition. I was impressed with the attention to detail and care taken to ensure a safe and successful transport. I really recommend Docshipper for it.

In the event of goods being stuck at customs, Robert [...] is a customs broker you should arguably consider to release your cargo. Once I knew that my scale modeling tools coming from Spain are being withheld at Suvarnabhumi Airport, I resorted to him to release it and handle the last mile delivery. All what he asked me is to send 2 emails to be able to do it! [...] Well guess what, within 48 hours, it was done! I got my parcel at my place in Phuket.

A vice president caught up in the thick of thin things, an EXW shipment of plumbing supplies for irrigation from Eureka California to Costa Rica is definitely not what I’d like to have on my agenda. Robert’s hang-in-there posture toward any arising challenges in shipping. [...] skillfully handled all US export formalities incl. SED/AES filing, not to mention the sea freight from Oakland POL. Everything ended up working out like a charm!

I feel they covered everything. DocShipper shipped a 20- ft Milvan overseas to Laem Chabang for a customer. The team was responsible for shipping the shipping to another country. Having very little knowledge in this area, I didn't know how to organise myself . One week after my arrival on the Asian continent. Marc O. Was available at all times and nearly instant feedback. Made a stressful event much easier and he definitely knows his job.
