• Customers sending letters documents only – there is no change and will continue to be delivered as normal.
• Customers sending gifts – gifts with a value of $100 dollars or less (€85) – there is no change and will continue to be delivered as normal.
• Customers sending gifts over $100 – taxes of minimum 15% to the value of the item will now be applied & will have to be paid by the receiving customer before it can be delivered.
• Business Customers sending sale of goods of any value – taxes of the country of origin of the item will be applied and will have to be paid by the receiving customer before it can be delivered.
• Business customers who wish to use a DDP solution, please contact your account manager or newbusiness@anpost.ie
• While some other European posts are turning off destination USA for a period of time, An Post has worked on a solution to allow goods to continue to travel and taxes be collected by the recipient in the USA.
• The recipient customer in the USA must pay the taxes before the item can be delivered.
• An Post now asks that for these items, the recipient email is provided as a mandatory field.
• An Post International Logistics Partner will contact the USA recipient and request payment of taxes, along with an administration fee.
• A time frame of 5 calendar days applies for the customer to pay.
• Once paid, the eCommerce parcel will be delivered to the USA.
• If not paid, the item will be returned to the sending customer.
• No credit will be due to the sending customer in this instance.
