Posting a parcel from Ireland to the Netherlands costs €10.50 with EirPost up to 500g, €13.50 up to 1kg, €15 up to 1.5kg and €16.50 up to 2kg. Delivery typically takes 3 to 5 working days and every label is tracked.
The Netherlands is in the EU, so there is no customs declaration, no duty and no import VAT on normal goods. The €10.50 you pay for a 500g label is the entire cost of getting that parcel to an address in Amsterdam or Rotterdam, and nothing is collected from your customer at the door.
You get the An Post tracking number the moment the label is created, before the parcel has left your desk. Put it straight into the dispatch email and the customer can follow the parcel from drop-off in Ireland through to delivery 3 to 5 working days later, which heads off most of the messages asking where an order has got to.
Print on A4 or on a 4x6 thermal label, drop the parcel at any post office, and pay nothing at the counter because the postage is already bought. If you have a batch of Dutch orders, upload them as a CSV and print the labels in one run. No An Post account, no contract, first three labels free.

Get a price for your parcelIreland and the Netherlands are both in the EU single market, so a parcel of normal goods needs no customs declaration, pays no duty and attracts no import VAT. There is no CN22 to complete and nothing extra to hand over at the post office. Your customer receives the parcel without being asked for anything, which is why EU lanes are the easiest place for an Irish seller to start selling abroad.

At any An Post post office in Ireland. Print the label at home on A4 paper or a 4x6 thermal label, attach it, and hand the parcel over. There is nothing to pay at the counter because the postage is already bought.
EirPost covers parcels up to 2kg, which suits most e-commerce orders: clothing, prints, crafts, cosmetics, books and small goods. Heavier parcels are better served by a courier service.
No. The Netherlands is in the EU, so there is no import VAT, no duty and no handling fee on a normal parcel of goods from Ireland. The €10.50 to €16.50 you pay for the label, depending on weight, is the full cost, and the parcel is handed over with nothing to collect.
Street name and house number on one line, then the postcode and town, then NETHERLANDS on its own line. Dutch postcodes are four digits, a space, then two letters, and the house number goes after the street name rather than before it. Getting the postcode right matters, because Dutch delivery is routed on it.
