Trade apparel import support Ireland
Import planning for bulk printed T-shirts and hoodies
Prissile helps Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland trade buyers separate product cost, packing, delivery terms, VAT and import duty before approving a 300+ unit T-shirt or hoodie order. Dublin-managed with production in Ludhiana, India.
What support means
Plan the landed-cost conversation before production
This page is not customs advice. It is a practical quote checklist for trade buyers importing bulk printed apparel, so the order is not judged on garment price alone.
Packing list needs
Carton counts, size mix, weights, labelling and packing format can be discussed before shipment.
HS code notes
Prissile can share HS code notes for review, but the buyer or importer must confirm the final customs treatment.
Duty and VAT planning
Guide prices stay before VAT and import duty. Buyers should check final treatment with their customs broker or adviser.
Destination check
Use the right import route for the delivery address
The garment and print brief can be shared across the island, but the customs route is not interchangeable. Confirm the delivery destination, buyer or importer details and delivery terms before comparing the final cost.
Republic of Ireland
Confirm the EU customs route
Revenue guidance asks businesses trading with countries outside the EU to check customs registration, who will submit the declaration, product classification, customs value and origin. The buyer or appointed agent should confirm what applies to the order.
Read Revenue customs guidanceNorthern Ireland
Confirm the Northern Ireland customs route
HMRC guidance for goods entering Northern Ireland from outside the UK and EU covers declarations, tariff treatment, EORI requirements, commodity codes and the Trader Support Service. The buyer or importer should confirm the correct route before the order is approved.

What sits outside the garment guide price
Prissile guide prices cover the garment and print only. Buyers comparing supplier quotes should ask each supplier the same landed-cost questions, since a lower garment price can still land higher once these components are added.
Incoterms used for the quote
Ask whether the quote is EXW, FOB or DDP. Each shifts who arranges and pays for freight, insurance and destination customs clearance.
Freight and insurance
Sea and air freight, cargo insurance and any inland haulage to the delivery address are separate from the garment guide price.
Import duty and VAT
The buyer or importer confirms the applicable duty rate, product classification and VAT treatment with their customs broker or tax adviser.
Customs clearance and agent fees
A customs broker or clearing agent fee applies at the port or airport of entry, whether arranged by Prissile or the buyer.
Carton marking and documentation
Commercial invoice, packing list and any labelling requirements should match the approved quote before the order ships.
Delivery to final address
Confirm whether the quoted delivery point is port, warehouse or the buyer premises before comparing suppliers on price alone.
These questions are for comparing supplier quotes on the same basis. They are not a duty or VAT calculator and do not replace advice from a customs broker or tax adviser.
Before a quote
Decisions that should be clear before approval
A clean import conversation starts with the production brief. The buyer should know who will act as importer, how the cartons should be packed and which costs are still outside the product guide price.
- Step 1
Confirm product type, quantity, size mix, artwork, print method and packing needs.
- Step 2
Decide who is responsible for import checks, broker questions and final tax treatment.
- Step 3
Separate garment cost, packing, delivery terms, VAT and import duty before order approval.
- Step 4
Review samples, labels and carton details before moving into a 300+ unit production run.
