Duty and VAT
Apparel entering the EU is subject to the common external tariff, commonly around 12% for most garment categories, plus import VAT at the national rate. Pakistan is a beneficiary of the EU GSP+ arrangement, under which many apparel lines enter at a reduced or zero duty rate when accompanied by valid proof of origin. Entitlement depends on the specific commodity code and on current arrangements, so confirm the rate for your product with your customs broker before costing. Irish import VAT is charged at the standard rate on the customs value plus duty and freight, and is recoverable by registered businesses.
Transhipment and timing
Most services to Ireland tranship at a larger European hub such as Rotterdam or Antwerp, which adds several days. Plan 28 to 40 days door to port and build a buffer into any dated campaign. Air freight remains available for samples and urgent stock.
Club and teamwear
A large share of Irish enquiries are from sports clubs ordering kit for a season: jerseys, shorts, socks, training tops and tracksuits. Club orders are small, repeated and sensitive to colour consistency, so we hold your artwork and colour standard and produce every reorder against that record. See teamwear.
Sponsors and numbering
Club kit usually carries multiple sponsor logos plus player names and numbers. Sublimated kit carries these in the fabric so nothing peels; see sublimation printing. For later additions to an existing batch, heat transfer matched to the original colours is used.
