Are you returning home, landing a new role in Dublin’s Silicon Docks, or embracing Irish life for the first time?
AMC makes moving to Ireland simple. We collect your household goods anywhere in the world, export-pack them to BAR standards, manage ocean or air freight, and deliver safely to your new Irish address, from city apartments to rural cottages.
Sea freight: full or part-load 20 ft / 40 ft containers into Dublin, Cork or Belfast ports (4–6 weeks typical from North America, 6–8 weeks from Asia-Pacific).Air freight: consolidated pallets for personal items needing 7-10 day delivery.
Moving to Ireland after living abroad? You may import personal effects duty- and VAT-free under Transfer of Residence relief if you’ve owned them more than six months.
We prepare the ToR online application, inventory list, and arrange clearance with Irish Revenue so your shipment clears without delays.
