Vintage Carhartt wholesale — Ireland

Air freight into Dublin runs 6–12 days for smaller lots; sea freight via Dublin Port is cheaper per piece above 50 pieces but adds four to six weeks.

Ireland applies 23% import VAT on goods entering the EU, plus customs duty on used clothing above the EU threshold. The EU has been phasing out its low-value exemptions, with a transitional duty applying from July 2026, so budget for VAT plus duty on any order. The courier collects before delivery. Northern Ireland follows UK rules. For bulk this is simpler than it sounds — one freight entry rather than many small parcels each attracting handling fees.

Dublin has a strong vintage market — Temple Bar, George's Street Arcade and the Liberties — and Cork and Galway have loyal vintage scenes. Depop is big among Irish sellers alongside Adverts.ie. Wet, mild weather means jackets sell all year; Detroits and hooded Active Jacs are the fastest movers.
