Posting a parcel from Ireland to Canada costs €13 with EirPost up to 500g, €17.50 up to 1kg, €24.50 up to 1.5kg and €29.50 up to 2kg. Delivery typically takes 4 to 5 working days on a tracked Express An Post service.
Every Canadian label is tracked from drop-off in Ireland through to delivery, and the tracking number is available the moment the label is generated. The price at checkout is the full cost of the label, with the customs declaration included.
Many Irish shops that sell to Canada sell to the USA as well, and both lanes work the same way on EirPost: the same label flow, the same customs handling, and An Post tracking on every parcel.
Parcels of goods need a customs declaration and EirPost generates it from what you enter with the label. Print on A4 or on a 4x6 thermal label, drop the parcel at any post office, and nothing is filled in or paid at the counter. First three labels free, no contract, no An Post account.

Get a price for your parcelGoods going to Canada travel with an electronic customs declaration. EirPost creates it from the item description, quantity, value and weight you enter while buying the label and sends it with the label, so there is no paper form at the post office. Give the real sale value rather than rounding it down, because undervalued parcels are the ones that get inspected.
Depending on the declared value, Canadian import charges can be collected from the recipient before delivery, along with the carrier handling fee. That is normal for post arriving from outside Canada and it is not something EirPost can settle on the recipient's behalf. Put a line in your shop policies saying import charges are the buyer's responsibility and a Canadian customer will not be caught out.
