Customs for Event in Dublin

Hello
I'm planning to travel to Dublin by car/ferry, with gifts and samples for an event.  Does anyone know what is best to do with regard to declaring items at customs and if this is needed for gifts?
I have gifts such as branded coffee mugs, plastic bottles, samples of supplements etc.

Thanks
Clare

Hello Clare,

Thanks for the question!

I would like to suggest that you have a look at the Irish Revenue website, in particular the Temporary Admission page, which relates to goods for display or use at exhibitions and fairs. There are also contact details for the Authorisations and Reliefs section that may be able to help in the area of these being gifts or giveaway items at the fair. Such items may fall under the Goods permanently imported for exhibitions, fairs, or meetings category, but they will be best placed to explain the rules.

I hope the event goes well! ☺️

Thank you Martin, this is very helpful
