Prohibited & Restricted Imports
Last published date:

The Irish Government and the EU both have legislation on prohibited and restricted imports.  An overview and updated list of prohibited and restricted goods into Ireland can be found at:   Prohibitions and Restrictions.  In addition, you will find detailed information on what goods can be sent to EU Member States from Ireland and can be received into Ireland from EU Member States. 

The TARIC shows various rules applying to specific products being imported into the customs territory of the EU or, in some cases, when exported from it.  To determine if a product is prohibited or subject to restriction, check the TARIC for the following codes:  

  • CITES Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species  

  • PROHI Import Suspension  

  • RSTR Import Restriction
