  • Ireland Customs Clearance Time

I believe many people have this question, how long does it usually take to clear a parcel through customs? Parcel clearance usually takes about 3-5 days. After the parcel arrives at customs, the customs declaration list of the item needs to be approved, as well as the identity verification of the personal belongings clearance. Finally, the package can be released for delivery after confirming that it is correct. Normally, customs staff will not stay too long on a single parcel because the number of parcels to be handled is just too much. So normally, the real customs clearance time in the customs process is still relatively short.

This kind of cargo, usually by the carrier separately and in the container freight station or inland freight station concentration, and then more than two tickets of goods assembled In a box, the same box to the destination freight station or inland station unpacked and shipped separately.

The carrier's responsibility for LCL cargo, basically the same as traditional general cargo transportation.

b) Full Container Load (FCL)

The whole container of cargo is shipped to the destination port by only one consignor, so the whole transportation process is relatively easier than LCL. The whole container of goods, the consignor is responsible for packing, counting, stowing and sealing the freight. The consignee is usually responsible for the unpacking of full container cargoes after they have been transported to the port of destination.

  • The difference between full container cargo and LCL cargo.

In the process of container cargo circulation, the form for the handover of goods is divided into whole container goods and LCL goods. The whole container cargo refers to the consignor's own box, and is responsible for filling out the packing list, field receipts, and by the Customs and Excise Department to add the seal of the goods. Customary understanding of a consignor, a consignee. LCL cargo refers to the container freight station is responsible for packing, responsible for filling out the packing list, and by the customs seal of the goods.

Jike's tips
When transporting, it is recommended to pack the goods into cardboards to prevent loss and damage. If the cargo volume is large, you can charter an air card board, and the price will be relatively favorable.
