iHerb Ireland: Shipping, VAT, Customs, and Delivery Guide
Shopping on iHerb for delivery to Ireland? This guide explains the available shipping method, free-delivery threshold, VAT and customs treatment, carrier payment terms, delivery timing, and product restrictions.
This Ireland shipping guide was checked in 2026 using iHerb’s official shipping reference. It covers the information available for orders shipped from the United States to Ireland, but customs, tax, carrier, and delivery terms may change. Verify current conditions with iHerb and the relevant Irish or EU authority before placing an order.
Shipping options for Ireland
iHerb currently lists the following delivery option for Ireland:
- Free delivery: Orders over €35 may qualify for free delivery. Carrier or product exclusions may apply.
- Global Air standard delivery: A €10 shipping fee applies to orders below €35.
Estimated delivery times are shown at checkout. Delivery can take longer because of regional air-freight delays, customs-clearance bottlenecks at terminals, or other unforeseen circumstances outside iHerb’s control.
VAT and customs in Ireland
iHerb is registered for the Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS), which supports the collection, declaration, and payment of VAT on distance sales of imported goods valued below €150. iHerb states that its orders are currently shipped from the United States and that product prices already include applicable VAT.
Some couriers may apply order-value or order-limit caps to support automated customs clearance. Orders close to a tax-free limit can be assessed for duties and taxes if the exchange rate changes between the order date and customs clearance date.
Before importing a product, check with the Irish customs authority to confirm that it is permitted and whether any additional licence or permit is required. Official guidance may be available through the Irish Tax and Customs, or Revenue Commissioners, portal and the EU Taxation and Customs Union website.
Customs duty and checkout adjustments
iHerb says it displays applicable customs duties at checkout for transparency and may reimburse applicable customs duties through a discretionary discount when an order exceeds €10. This is not a general guarantee that every charge will be reimbursed.
From July 2026, a €3 customs duty applies to certain goods imported from outside the EU in parcels valued below €150. The charge applies per customs product category, not per individual iHerb product category. Several products in one customs product category may therefore incur one €3 duty, while products spanning different customs product categories may incur multiple charges.
- Three supplements in the same customs product category: one €3 customs duty may apply.
- Supplements, skincare, and pet products in three different customs product categories: duties of up to €9 may apply, at €3 per category.
Very occasionally, customs duties may be applied unintentionally. iHerb advises customers to contact customer service if this happens.

How delivery is handled
iHerb states that orders are air-freighted directly to Europe from temperature-controlled, GMP/IOSS-certified warehouses in the United States. The delivery estimate displayed at checkout is the relevant estimate for the selected order and destination; it is not a guarantee.
Transit may be extended by air-freight disruptions, customs processing delays, or other events outside iHerb’s control. Keep your order information available if you need to contact the carrier or iHerb about a shipment.
Product restrictions and import checks
iHerb attempts to block prohibited products from appearing on its website, but Irish import-compliance rules can change frequently. Irish customers should independently verify that each specific product is permitted for personal consumption in Ireland.
Do not assume that a product’s availability on the website confirms that it can legally be imported. Check current Irish requirements and any applicable documentation, licence, or permit rules before ordering.
iHerb promocodes for Ireland
iHerb promocodes may reduce the order price when the applicable promotion’s conditions are met. Eligibility, exclusions, minimum purchase requirements, and expiry terms can change, so review the current offer before checkout. See the current iHerb promocodes for Ireland.
If you plan to place an order on iHerb, check the active promo code before paying.
Before you place an order
- Confirm that every product is allowed for personal import into Ireland.
- Check the basket value, the €35 free-delivery threshold, and any displayed shipping fee.
- Review VAT, customs duty, and any checkout discount or prepaid-fee information.
- Pay particular attention to orders near the €150 value limit and to baskets containing different customs product categories.
- Save the checkout estimate and order details in case you need carrier or customer-service assistance.
For the latest destination-specific conditions, consult official iHerb shipping information and confirm current requirements with Irish customs or another relevant authority. Shipping, tax, customs, carrier, and delivery policies can change without notice.
