DuTec launches service to support UK exporters with international trade success
18th October, 2021
British exporters to Ireland have had to deal with extra paperwork and costs because of the border checks put in place on 1st January due to Brexit. In the first half of 2021 exports from the UK to Ireland slumped by more than €2.5bn. Ireland is the UK’s fifth largest export market, in 2019 exports to Ireland totalled £36.6bn.
It is easier for a UK company to sell in Ireland than in any other European market. We share same language and terminologies, and most standards. There are long-standing trading relationships built up over many decades and there is established demand for UK goods in Ireland. We share the same advertising channels, TV, newspapers, magazines and social media, so Irish consumers are very aware of, and attracted to British products.
The Irish market is experiencing a post-covid economic bounce with consumer spending in Ireland now 10% higher than before the pandemic.
Providing solutions to post-Brexit/covid issues, Irish logistics company DuTec offers a comprehensive supply chain solution and logistics service which takes the pain out of any UK company’s UK to Ireland (+/or UK to mainland Europe) fulfilment operation.
Limerick-based DuTec has decades of experience and expertise in helping many UK companies export to Ireland. Using this knowledge DuTec has configured a post-Brexit service which can help firms overcome borders, customs, cross border taxes to save time and money and provide efficient, hassle-free delivery to Irish customers.
UK brands can effortlessly bulk ship from their own manufacturing site in UK or from overseas suppliers to DuTec, which then fulfils end-customer orders in Ireland, Northern Ireland and elsewhere in the EU.
With its bespoke distribution software and purpose-built warehousing facility the firm is perfectly placed to assist UK exporters in regaining market share in Ireland. The benefits of using DuTec include:
- Reduced delivery time – Next day delivery for consumers
- Reduced shipping costs – Ship directly from suppliers to DuTec
- No more red-tape – DuTec will clear non-EU inbound products through customs
- No import charges – DuTec will clear EU made products through customs

Product Returns have become a complex/expensive process for many brands when customers are trying to return items to the UK from Ireland (customs forms, courier etc), as a result of operating in two separate economic markets.
DuTec can process these returns for a UK Brand, ensuring a normalisation of the returns process to a pre-Brexit experience for the customer and an efficient cost-effective process for the brand.
Partnering with DuTec will allow a brand to bulk ship its product into Ireland for Irish customers. Is much easier to ship a pallet with 100 items for 100 Irish customers as one consignment with one piece of paperwork/custom clearance as opposed to shipping 100 individual orders with 100 instances of customs paperwork for export from UK and import into European Market.
Sean Conway, DuTec managing director comments “There are great opportunities for international trade post-Brexit. The UK’s spirit of innovation will ensure that companies make the best of these opportunities in the long term.”
