Shop Indian stores from Ireland, delivered to your door
Thousands of Kerala nurses and their families have settled in Ireland over the last few years, and almost nothing they want from home ships there directly. A free Indian address closes that gap.
Yes — you can shop Indian websites from Ireland even when they will not deliver there. India Rabbit is a package forwarding company that gives you a free Indian delivery address in Kerala. Order to it from Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra or any Indian shop, and we receive each parcel, hold it free for 30 days, combine everything into one box and forward it to Ireland — typically 4 to 12 business days from dispatch. You pay for the international shipment only. From India to Ireland, a 1 kg parcel starts at ₹2,800 (about EUR 26), and the rate per kilo falls as the box fills: about ₹1,320 (about EUR 12.4) per kg for a 5 kg box and ₹950 (about EUR 9.0) per kg for 20 kg, on Economy, with GST and payment charges included. We charge in rupees; the EUR figures are approximate, at this week's exchange rate. Forwarding one box to Ireland runs about ₹4,000–5,000 for 1 kg and ₹10,000–12,500 for 5 kg by direct courier, or ₹2,500–3,500 and ₹6,000–7,500 where we run an Economy lane. Ranges worked out 2026-10-31, not quotes. Economy is delivered duty paid; on Premium, duty at your end is separate.
What it costs to ship from India to Ireland
For a figure you can act on, price your actual box — weight and destination in, exact cost out. The bands below are the shape of it if you only want a ballpark first.

Indicative totals for a parcel forwarded from our Kerala warehouse to Ireland, including our handling, GST and payment charges — not a carrier rate with extras added later. Economy to Ireland is delivered duty paid, so import duty is in the price; on Premium, duty and any import tax charged on arrival is separate, and is set by Ireland customs rather than by us.
Per kilo: From India to Ireland, a 1 kg parcel starts at ₹2,800 (about EUR 26), and the rate per kilo falls as the box fills: about ₹1,320 (about EUR 12.4) per kg for a 5 kg box and ₹950 (about EUR 9.0) per kg for 20 kg, on Economy, with GST and payment charges included. We charge in rupees; the EUR figures are approximate, at this week's exchange rate.
| Parcel weight | Premium — direct courier | Economy — consolidated |
|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | ₹4,000–5,000 about EUR 38–47 |
₹2,500–3,500 about EUR 24–33 |

₹10,000–12,000 about EUR 94–113 |
| 20 kg | ₹27,500–33,000 about EUR 259–311 |
₹17,000–21,000 about EUR 160–198 |
These are ranges, not quotes. What you actually pay depends on the finished weight and size of your box after we repack it, which is usually less than the sum of the parcels that arrived. Worked out 2026-10-31.
Why one box beats five parcels
International shipping is charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, and every parcel carries that cost separately. Five 1 kg parcels to Ireland are priced as five shipments; repacked into one 4 kg box — packaging stripped, which is where the fifth kilo goes — they are priced as one. That is the difference between the 1 kg row above multiplied by five and the 5 kg row on its own.
Premium or Economy to Ireland?
Premium is a direct courier with end-to-end tracking and priority customs handling. Economy is consolidated and takes a few days longer for a lower price. Typical transit to Ireland is 4 to 12 business days from dispatch; Economy sits at the longer end of that. Both are tracked. More on choosing Premium or Economy and on how long shipping from India takes.
Shop from India to Ireland — what people actually buy
Ireland runs 230V on the same three-pin sockets as Britain, so Indian electricals work on an adapter. Dublin has Indian grocery and clothing; Cork, Limerick and the smaller HSE towns where a lot of Kerala nurses are posted have very little, and that gap is most of the reason this route exists. Malayalam prayer books, Bibles and children's reading are the categories with no Irish source, and the ones worth ordering well ahead of Christmas.
- Kerala groceries, spices and pickles
- Malayalam books, Bibles and prayer books
- Traditional wear for church and family functions
- Ayurvedic and herbal products
- Items for Onam and Christmas
Irish and EU VAT thresholds are low, so declare values accurately — the recipient usually pays VAT before delivery.
We deliver door to door across Ireland, including Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford.
Customs and restrictions
Import VAT (23%) applies to most goods; since 1 July 2026 parcels up to €150 pay a €3 customs duty per item category, and normal duty applies above €150. The recipient may need to pay VAT/duty before delivery.
Not accepted
- Meat and dairy products from outside the EU
- Protected plants, seeds, and certain foods without certificates
- Counterfeit goods and endangered species products
- Offensive weapons and certain knives
Allowed with conditions
- Medicines — personal quantity with a prescription
- Commercially packaged food (no meat/dairy) — declare
- Supplements and cosmetics — declare
Import duty and local taxes are decided by Ireland customs and collected by the carrier on delivery. They are never part of our shipping quote.
Selling from India rather than buying? Shipping orders to Ireland for Indian sellers covers this lane from the other side — transit, what Ireland will not admit, and how duty falls.

Cities we ship to in Ireland
Shipping from India to Dublin
Ireland's Keralite community is newer than Britain's and growing quickly, built largely on healthcare recruitment over the past decade. That makes it a young community — first houses, first children born abroad, and a lot of first parcels from home.
What people in Dublin order most: clothes and ethnic wear; baby and children's items; Malayalam books; groceries and provisions, where permitted; gifts and festival shopping.
Ireland applies EU import rules: VAT from the first euro and duty above a threshold, collected by the carrier before delivery. Food and plant material are treated strictly, as everywhere in the EU. The Ireland restrictions page has the detail.
We deliver across Dublin, including Blanchardstown, Tallaght, Swords, Lucan, Clondalkin, Balbriggan, Drogheda.
Do you deliver outside Dublin?
Yes — Cork, Galway, Limerick and the rest of the country. The shipment is the same; only the delivery address changes.
Will I pay VAT and duty in Ireland?
VAT applies to imported goods from the first euro, with duty above a threshold. The carrier collects both before delivery, and neither is part of our quote.

Can I get Indian products delivered to Ireland when the shop only ships within India?
Yes. Order to your India Rabbit address as an ordinary customer in India. We receive the parcel at our warehouse in Kerala, hold it free for 30 days while your other orders arrive, and forward everything to Ireland in one box.

Use it as the shipping address at checkout on Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Ajio and most other Indian stores.

How much does it cost to send a parcel from India to Ireland per kg?
From India to Ireland, a 1 kg parcel starts at ₹2,800 (about EUR 26), and the rate per kilo falls as the box fills: about ₹1,320 (about EUR 12.4) per kg for a 5 kg box and ₹950 (about EUR 9.0) per kg for 20 kg, on Economy, with GST and payment charges included. We charge in rupees; the EUR figures are approximate, at this week's exchange rate. Forwarding one box to Ireland runs about ₹4,000–5,000 for 1 kg and ₹10,000–12,500 for 5 kg by direct courier, or ₹2,500–3,500 and ₹6,000–7,500 where we run an Economy lane. Ranges worked out 2026-10-31, not quotes. Economy is delivered duty paid; on Premium, duty at your end is separate. What you pay depends on the finished weight and size after we repack your parcels into one; the table on this page shows indicative totals by parcel weight for Premium and Economy, with our handling, GST and payment charges included. The calculator gives the exact figure for your box.
Can I send a courier from India to Ireland with India Rabbit?
Yes. Order from Indian shops to your India Rabbit address, or have family in India send things there by any domestic courier. We receive and photograph every parcel, combine everything into one box and ship it to Ireland with tracking, typically 4 to 12 business days after dispatch.
What is the cheapest way to ship from India to Ireland?
Order everything to your Indian address first and have it forwarded as one box. International shipping is charged per shipment on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, so five parcels sent separately cost far more than the same goods repacked together. Where we run an Economy lane to Ireland, it is cheaper again than direct courier in exchange for a few more days in transit.
How long does delivery to Ireland take?
Typically 4 to 12 business days from the day your consolidated shipment leaves our warehouse, plus customs clearance at your end. Time in storage before you request shipping does not count towards that.
How much can I save by combining parcels?
International shipping is priced on weight and size, so five separate parcels cost far more than one. We repack everything into a single box and strip unnecessary packaging to cut volumetric weight. The saving scales with how bulky the original packaging was — up to 80% on bulky retail boxes, considerably less on small dense items.
Will I pay customs duty in Ireland?
Import VAT (23%) applies to most goods; since 1 July 2026 parcels up to €150 pay a €3 customs duty per item category, and normal duty applies above €150. The recipient may need to pay VAT/duty before delivery. Duty is charged by the customs authority in Ireland, not by India Rabbit.
What can I not forward to Ireland?
Prohibited for Ireland: Meat and dairy products from outside the EU; Protected plants, seeds, and certain foods without certificates; Counterfeit goods and endangered species products; Offensive weapons and certain knives; Cash, currency, cheques, bullion, and loose precious stones; Narcotics, illegal drugs, and psychotropic substances. Check before you order.
How long will you hold my parcels?
30 days free from the day each parcel arrives, which is enough to finish a sale-season order and send it all together. Storage can be extended for a fee if you need longer.
Do I need an Indian card or phone number?
For most stores your own card works fine. Where a store insists on an Indian payment method, message us on WhatsApp before ordering and we will tell you what is possible.
