NI Parcels Brexit Update

Updated 30th of December 2020

The information below is subject to change and should not be taken as 100% fact given that there are still many unknown factors and likely changes to come in the next weeks/months.

NI Parcels is not a customs broker and cannot answer specific questions regarding your shipping circumstances, you may need to seek the help of an external company for such advice.

On the 1st of January 2021, the UK and the EU will terminate its transition period after the UK left the EU on the 31st of January 2020.

The trade deal agreed between the UK and EU mean that significant changes will be introduced for the shipping of parcels. This is not the outcome NI Parcels would have preferred for our customers however we will work to make any changes as easy as possible.

We would advise all customers sending between the UK and the EU to please be aware of potential delays due to this unprecedented change and also due to a potential backlog in the processing of shipments due to this change.

How will Brexit affect bookings on NI Parcels?

If you are sending from the UK Mainland (including Highlands and Islands) to an EU destination, you will now be required to complete the customs paperwork for your shipment.

This paperwork will be available in your "My Orders" section after booking.

This will not be required for shipments to or from Northern Ireland due to its special status.

Will I have to pay customs charges?

Yes - Goods entering the UK (including Highlands and Islands) from the EU (and vice versa) will be charged customs charges such as Import VAT and Import Duty. We cannot predict or foresee how much your customs charges may be.

The recipient in the destination will be liable for any customs charges - NI Parcels is not liable for customs charges.

What happens if I do not pay customs charges?

Your shipment may be refused delivery and held with further daily storage charges until paid.

Customs also have the right to dispose of a shipment if they feel the situation may not be resolved. If your item is disposed of by customs, you cannot claim for loss due to this. NI Parcels cannot control the decisions made by customs authorities.

Will this affect shipping between Northern Ireland and the UK Mainland?

At the moment, the current working agreement means that shipments coming from the UK Mainland to Northern Ireland will require checks of some sort however these checks have not been detailed as of yet. Paperwork may be eventually required on shipments going GB to NI.

For shipments going from Northern Ireland to the UK Mainland, no additional paperwork or checks will be required.

Will this affect shipping between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland?

There will not be any new checks or paperwork on shipments moving between NI and IE.

What about shipments going from Northern Ireland and EU Countries e.g NI to France?

Northern Ireland will be the only part of the UK without new checks or paperwork for shipments to and from the EU however this may change. At the moment only shipments to and from the UK Mainland and other EU nations will require formal checks. This will include shipping between UK Mainland and the Republic of Ireland.

Can I send my shipments from the UK Mainland to Northern Ireland to have then shipped onwards to Ireland without checks?

No, as shipments from the UK Mainland to Northern Ireland will require checks, this will not benefit your shipping experience. We recommend shipping directly from the UK Mainland to Ireland and dealing with any potential checks.

Will I still need to pay VAT on shipments to and from the EU?

VAT will not be paid at the point of sale for your shipping costs for shipments going from GB to EU destinations and vice versa. However, customs charges may still be applicable and you as the sender are ultimately responsible for any customs charges. If you are sending to an EU country you must make your recipient aware of potential customs charges as, if they refuse to pay them, you will become liable for these charges.

VAT will still be paid on shipments travelling from Northern Ireland and the EU (and vice versa).

What is an EORI number?

In the UK, an Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number is assigned to importers and exporters by HMRC and is used during the customs clearance process for both import and export shipments travelling to or from the EU and countries outside the EU. In a post-transition world, it will be a mandatory requirement to have an EORI number to ship into the EU from the UK.

You can apply for an EORI Number by clicking here: www.gov.uk/eori We recommend applying for this regardless of the outcome of any trade deal negotiations.

A Guide to Parcel shipping with NI Parcels in the wake of COVID-19

In the wake of the global pandemic many things have had to be put on hold, but shipping your parcels shouldn't be one of them. In this article, we cover everything you need to know to help guide you on shipping your items during Covid-19.

Are shipping locations affected?

The current situation is always changing, so it's important to stay on top of current advice from the UK Foreign Office.

Cargo shipping is largely unaffected at present, leading to most shipments being delivered on time however we do recommend people allow an additional 1-2 days for delivery in case of any delays. We cannot predict or foresee delays in advance.

Europe and the UK

The majority of shipments are arriving on time, but due to high demand on our courier networks, your items may incur delays and we recommend tracking online for the most recent updates.

In France, the majority of collections and deliveries have resumed as normal. There may be smaller areas still affected by service suspensions, if your shipment is affected by this, we will let you know.
In Spain and Italy shipping has resumed as normal.
In Greece, there may be additional restrictions for shipments coming in from outside the EU. This may involve the recipient attending a customs office to self clear the shipment or appointing a broker to clear the shipment with customs. Please do not send time-sensitive items.

USA

There are not currently any restrictions on cargo shipments going to or from the USA.

China

Shipping has resumed as normal across China from the UK.

Australia

Shipments to and from Australia are operating however expect delays as the courier may use alternative routes to ship items to and from Australia.

South Africa

Only essential shipments may be shipped to and from South Africa. Please do not send without having checked with SA customs in regard to the essential status of your items.

OTHER

Currently, the following countries have suspended their services: Afghanistan, Algeria, Antigua, Comoros, Greenland, Guinea Bissau, Iraq, Mauritius, Mayotte, Nepal, Reunion Island, Rwanda, Seychelles, St Lucia, Uzbekistan.

As the situation is ever-changing we cannot guarantee circumstances will not change and cannot be responsible for delays caused due to the impact of the pandemic.

Are there size and weight restrictions?

Yes, but each service will differ. You can discover if your items adhere to the size and weight restrictions when getting a quick quote here. If your item is oversized or too large contact us directly for a custom quote for your shipment.

What packaging can I use?

You are able to use your own packaging, providing that it is able to transport your items safely and is sturdy enough for the journey. If you are using the NI Parcels Economy or Express service items must be packaged in cardboard boxes or crates as per these guidelines. For large items please check these specifications. NI Parcels does not offer a packaging service, so this is your responsibility. It's important to note that suitcases or bags are not accepted as packaging and your items will not be suitable for collection.

Do I need labels?

Yes, all shipments will require labels, but the process couldn't be simpler! All you have to do is go to the My Orders section of NI Parcel's website. Here you can log into your order and access your labels. They will differ depending on the courier, some will include barcodes and some won't.

You will receive an email when your labels are ready to print. Print off your labels and attach them to your shipment. If you have more than one label per parcel, only attach one and give the rest to the driver. Make sure that your labels do not cover any addresses or barcodes which are essential for delivery.

Do not give your shipment to the delivery driver without attaching your labels. You may be charged an admin fee or your items may end up being returned if labels are not attached.

Do I need customs forms?

Yes, if you are sending your item to a country outside of the EU, you will need to fill out customs forms. We will provide these for you, they are available under the, 'My Order,' section on our website.

When preparing your parcels for shipping ensure that you have included 3 copies of your custom forms in a clear documents wallet and attach it to your parcels. If you don't have a clear document holder then give your customer paperwork directly to the driver who will attach it to your shipment for you.

Are there any items I cannot send?

Yes, there are items that are prohibited. These items include;

Aerosols, Air Bag, Alcoholic Beverages, Ammunition Animals Of Any Form (Alive Or Dead), Batteries (All), Biological Samples, Car Batteries, Car Bonnet, Car Bumper, Cash, Credit Cards, Debit Cards, Cheques, Christmas Crackers, Compressed Gas, Counterfeit Currency, Dangerous Goods, Drugs (Including Prescription), Filth, Fire Extinguisher, Fish (Live Or Dead), Flammable items, Gun, Hazardous Goods, Human Remains, Infectious Substances, Juice, Liquid, Lottery Tickets, Meat, Money/Cash/Currency, Nail Polish, Oil, Paint, Passport, Perfume / Aftershave (All), Perishable Goods (All), Plant, Pornography, Printer Toner (International Parcels Only), Replica Weapons, Settee, Sinks, Slush Syrup, Sofa, Stamps (Unless Franked), Tobacco, Toilets, Water, Weapons, Windscreens.

14 Amazing Health Food Brands Based In Northern Ireland

Summer is well and truly here...

Which means the impending pressure of having a rock hard beach body is upon us.

But let's face it - no one can bare the thought of going for a run, munching carrot sticks and chugging coconut water in this weather. We'd much rather be enjoying a big old poke in the sun (with a chocolate flake and sprinkles, please and thanks).

So to help motivate you to get in shape for your holidays abroad, or your next trip to Portrush strand, we thought it would be a great idea to take a look at some of Northern Ireland's top health food brands, that aren't just good for you, but taste amazing too.

Get some of these names on your shopping list and you'll have abs in no time without even trying. We promise.*

*This is not an actual promise.

1. Forest Feast

Based in Portadown, Co. Armagh, Forest Feast are a supplier of healthy fruit and nut snacks that you've probably seen on the shelves of your local supermarket or corner shops. Their Street Food nut packs are a great substitute for a naughty bag of Tayto and their Sour Mango (a firm favourite among the NI Parcels gang) tastes just like Haribo!

Find them at Forestfeast.com.

2. Suki Tea

There is nothing better than a nice hot cup of tea (milk and two sugars if you're offering), but if you're gulping down multiple cups a day, you could be unwittingly adding a significant amount of calories to your daily intake. For instance, of you like your tea milky and sweet, each cup will contain around 50 calories!

Suki Tea, however, is a much healthier and more delicious alternative. Based in Belfast, they produce an enormous variety of ethically sourced loose leaf teas in an abundance of flavours.

Find them at Suki-tea.com

3. Linwoods Health Foods

Linwoods, based in County Armagh, produce these incredible varieties of super seed packs which are incredibly good for you. Put them in your porridge, on your cereal, in your yoghurt, use them to bake break or pour the packet directly into your gub if you want - they are jam packed with nutrients to fuel your body.

Find them at Linwoodshealthfoods.com

4. Abernethy Butter

In 2005, Will and Allison Abernethy decided to take their buttermaking skills, learned from previous generations, and turn it into a family business. Now based in Dromara, County Down, and sold in the likes of Fortnum and Mason (grocer to the Queen, don't you know), Abernethy is a well respected brand with many fans. Not only is it the most delicious, luxurious butter ever, but it is handmade and additive free and comes from grass-fed cows which is known to protect against colon cancer.

Find them at Abernethybuttercompany.com.

5. Keen Nut Butter

Bangor based brand Keen Nut Butter will be favourite among any peanut butter addicts out there. We swear, when you buy this stuff, you'll be tying your hands behind your back just to stop yourself devouring the whole thing with a spoon. Founder Aimee Beimers is a nutritionist and sought out to replace traditional sugar laden nut butters and spreads with something much healthier and tastier. And, by God, she achieved it.

Find them at Keannutbutter.com.

6. Skinny Malinkys

Skinny Malinky's are NI's premier raw cold pressed juice providers. And if you're in need of a bit of a detox or cleanse, this is the answer. The juices are full of yummy nutritious goodness to fuel your body with the vitamins and minerals it needs.

You can find them at Ohsolean.co.uk.

11. Moditions

Moditions gluten free baked goods started out as a bit of a passion project when founder Christine wanted to create some delicious food for her coeliac husband. As interest in her food grew, a business was born and now her amazing baked creations are stocked in Tescos stores as part of their Local Choice options.

You can find them at Moditions.com

12. Heavenly Tasty Organics

Find them at Mashdirect.com

14. Broighter Gold Rapeseed Oil

Here's a fact for you - Broighter Gold Rapeseed Oil was actually created by accident. When Leona Kane and her husband Richard were preparing dinner one night, they ran out of olive oil for the salad dressing. So, Richard brought up some unfiltered cold pressed rapeseed oil to use instead. They were immediately hooked to its gorgeous nutty flavour and developed the idea to create a healthy all-rounder oil for cooking, frying or making dressings. The company have gone onto win numerous awards and have a long line of fans, including Obama!
