Usually, no. For an ordinary parcel shipping to Northern Ireland from Great Britain (England, Scotland or Wales), you do not have to complete customs declarations or pay duty. However, if you’re a business sending parcels to another business (B2B), at least one party should be authorised under the UK Internal Market Scheme (UKIMS) so the parcel can use the ‘green lane’ (outlined in the Windsor Framework). Without this, EU duty could be charged. For more information, click here.
You should address a parcel to Northern Ireland as you would address one to anywhere else in the UK - there is no difference in format. The first line(s) should comprise the name of the person and/or company receiving the parcel. Next should be the street name and number. The line after that should be the address’s postcode, and finally, the name of the country - United Kingdom. You can also add “Northern Ireland” if you prefer. Remember to write clearly, so the address label is not misunderstood; block capitals help with this.
When you send a parcel to Northern Ireland, you usually won’t face customs paperwork for ordinary items. Despite this, senders must still respect rules on SPS goods (food/plant/animal products), excise goods (alcohol/tobacco), and carrier‑specific prohibited or dangerous items. Restrictions depend on what you’re sending and whether it’s personal or business.
There are no items that cannot be specifically sent to Northern Ireland, other than those already prohibited in the UK in general. Royal Mail will be able to provide you with an exhaustive list of these items.
