Posting a parcel from Ireland to the USA costs €13.50 with EirPost up to 500g, €18 up to 1kg, €24 up to 1.5kg and €29.50 up to 2kg. That is a tracked An Post international service, bought online and dropped at any post office. Delivery typically takes 4 to 5 working days on the Express service.
America is where tracking earns its keep. Every label carries An Post tracking from drop-off in Ireland to the door, and the number is ready for the dispatch email the moment the label is generated, which is exactly what an American buyer expects to see.
America is the biggest lane on Etsy for most Irish sellers, and it is the one with the most paperwork if you do it at the counter. EirPost generates the CN22-style customs declaration from the item details you enter, so a run of twenty US orders becomes twenty labels printed at your desk instead of twenty forms written out by hand.
Print on A4 or on a 4x6 thermal label, stick it on, and hand the parcels over. Parcels up to 2kg are covered, which fits the prints, jewellery, knitwear and small homeware that make up most Irish sales into the States. No An Post account, no contract, no minimum volume, and the first three labels are free.

Get a price for your parcelEvery parcel of goods to the USA travels with an electronic customs declaration, the CN22 you may have written out at the counter before. EirPost creates it from the description, quantity, value and weight you enter when you buy the label, and it goes with the label automatically.
Give each item a plain, specific description and the price you actually sold it for. Undervaluing an order, or writing "gift" on a commercial sale, is what gets parcels pulled aside. A good line reads like "silver stud earrings, 1 pair, EUR 32".
Do not promise an American customer they will pay nothing on arrival. Depending on the declared value and the import rules in force at the time, there can be a charge, and it is settled between the recipient and the carrier. A line in your shop policies saying import charges are the buyer's responsibility saves a lot of messages later.
With EirPost, a parcel from Ireland to the USA up to 500g costs €13.50, up to 1kg is €18, up to 1.5kg is €24 and up to 2kg is €29.50. These are tracked An Post international deliveries bought online, with nothing extra to pay at the post office.
Typical delivery time is 4 to 5 working days once the parcel is scanned in by An Post. This is an estimate rather than a guarantee: busy periods like Christmas and customs checks can add time.
Yes. Every EirPost label includes An Post tracking. You get the tracking number as soon as the label is generated and can follow the parcel from drop-off in Ireland through to delivery.
Yes, parcels of goods to the USA need a customs declaration, but you do not fill in a paper form. EirPost generates the electronic declaration from the item description, value and weight you enter while creating the label.
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.
An EirPost label bought online: €13.50 up to 500g, €18 up to 1kg, €24 up to 1.5kg and €29.50 up to 2kg, all tracked. For a batch of orders, upload your Etsy CSV and the labels generate together, ready to print on A4 or 4x6 thermal.
A specific description of each item, the quantity, the value you sold it for and the weight. "Handmade ceramic mug, 1 unit, EUR 28" is the level of detail that clears. "Goods" or "gift" is what gets a parcel held. EirPost turns what you type into the declaration, so you do it once on screen instead of by hand at the counter.
