VerifiedGet matched with vetted international mover We match you with only accredited partner for your route: fewer calls, less stress, and a clearer quote.
In short: A move from the UK to Wexford is matched to one FIDI-certified partner mover, free and with no obligation to book. Goods travel by ferry and road, often via the Pembroke or Fishguard to Rosslare crossing for the south-east. Since Brexit, a move from Great Britain to Wexford is an EU import, so Transfer of Residence relief on Form C&E 1076 can remove import duty and the 23% Irish VAT when you qualify.
Part-load (shared) and full-load options are available, with customs handled on Form C&E 1076 through Revenue.
A move to Wexford from the UK uses the south Wales to Rosslare Europort ferry. Pembroke to Rosslare, run by Irish Ferries, takes about 4 hours. Fishguard to Rosslare, run by Stena Line, takes about 3 hours 30 minutes. Rosslare Europort is about 20 kilometres from Wexford town on the N25. This is one of the shortest distances from any Irish ferry port to a county town in Ireland, making Wexford one of the most efficient delivery destinations on the Ireland route.
Wexford is a town with Viking and Norman roots. Its name comes from the Old Norse “Weisfjord,” meaning harbour of the mudflats. Selskar Abbey in the town centre dates from Norman times in the 12th century. The quays along Wexford Harbour — Custom House Quay, Paul Quay and others — follow the line of the old Viking settlement. These older streets near the harbour can be narrow, though the quayside roads themselves give better access for large vehicles arriving from the south.
County Wexford is the largest county in the south-east of Ireland by population. Towns across the county including Enniscorthy, New Ross, Gorey and Bunclody all benefit from the short run to Rosslare. Rural addresses across the county use townland names rather than street numbers. The Eircode is essential for all county deliveries.
International Removals Companies connects your enquiry with one FIDI-certified partner mover for the UK to Wexford route. We are not a removal company. The service is free.
Wexford town and county have different access conditions depending on whether the delivery is in the town centre, on the quays, in a modern estate or in the rural county. Give the mover the detail below for an accurate quote.
Since Brexit, a move from Great Britain to Wexford is an EU import. A customs declaration is needed when the goods arrive at Rosslare. Revenue’s Transfer of Residence relief, claimed on Form C&E 1076, removes import duty and the 23% Irish VAT on used personal belongings if you qualify. Your FIDI-certified partner mover files the form on your behalf about two weeks before the ferry departure.
The Common Travel Area covers people, not goods. Your household goods still go through the customs process at Rosslare, even though you can travel between the UK and Ireland freely. The Transfer of Residence relief is what removes the duty and the 23% VAT, not the travel rules.
To qualify, you generally need to have owned and used the goods for at least six months and be establishing permanent residence in Ireland. After arriving in Wexford, apply for a PPS number — the Personal Public Service number — at your local Intreo centre. You will need it for Revenue, banking and most official matters. Include the Eircode for your Wexford delivery address in the enquiry. Rural County Wexford addresses in townlands around Enniscorthy, New Ross and the county coast have no street number, so the Eircode is the only reliable way for the mover to plan the delivery.
The Republic of Ireland uses the euro (EUR), not sterling. Moving to Wexford means moving into a euro economy. Deposits, charges at the Irish end and day-to-day costs are all in euro after you arrive.
International Removals Companies works with currency exchange partners. We do not provide currency exchange ourselves. If you need to convert sterling to euro for your move to Wexford, we can connect you with a partner who can help. This is entirely separate from the removals service and carries no obligation.

After arriving in Wexford, you will need a PPS number — the Personal Public Service number — for Revenue, banking and most official matters. Apply at your local Intreo centre on arrival. Always include the Eircode for your delivery address when you enquire. Townland addresses in rural Ireland have no street number, and the Eircode is how the mover finds the correct door.

FIDI FAIM is the main quality standard for international removal companies. Partner movers pass an independent audit by Ernst and Young every three years, covering more than 200 quality checks. For a move that crosses an EU customs border, that standard is the one to look for.
Wexford is served by the south Wales to Rosslare crossings. Pembroke to Rosslare Europort, run by Irish Ferries, takes about 4 hours. Fishguard to Rosslare, run by Stena Line, takes about 3 hours 30 minutes. Rosslare Europort is about 20 kilometres from Wexford town on the N25, making Wexford one of the closest Irish towns to a ferry port. The whole of County Wexford benefits from this short port-to-county distance.
Rosslare Europort is about 20 kilometres from Wexford town. The N25 runs between the port entrance and the town, a drive of around 20 minutes. This is one of the shortest port-to-town distances for any county town in Ireland, which keeps total transit time down and makes Wexford well-suited to both dedicated van and part load moves from the UK.
Wexford town has a medieval history. Selskar Abbey, founded by the Normans in the 12th century, is a reminder of the town's origins. The older streets near the quays and the town centre can be narrow. The quays along Wexford Harbour, including Custom House Quay and Paul Quay, give the best access for larger removal vehicles arriving from the south. Modern housing estates on the outskirts have standard access. Rural County Wexford addresses use townland names and the Eircode is essential.
Transfer of Residence relief is claimed on Form C&E 1076 from Revenue. It removes Customs Duty and the 23% Irish VAT on used personal belongings when you move your home to Ireland from outside the EU. Since Brexit, a move from Great Britain to Wexford is an EU import. Your FIDI-certified partner mover files the form on your behalf about two weeks before your goods arrive at Rosslare. Check revenue.ie for the current conditions.
A dedicated van from most UK cities to Wexford takes one to two days from collection. The south Wales to Rosslare crossing is 3.5 to 4 hours, and the drive from Rosslare to Wexford town is around 20 minutes. This is one of the most efficient port-to-delivery runs in Ireland. A shared load takes one to three weeks as it waits to consolidate with other loads.
The Common Travel Area covers people, not goods. It lets UK and Irish citizens live and work freely in each other's country. Your household goods still go through the customs process when they arrive at Rosslare from Great Britain. Transfer of Residence relief on Form C&E 1076, not the Common Travel Area, is what removes the import duty and the 23% Irish VAT.
An Eircode is the Irish postcode, a seven-character code unique to each address. Wexford town addresses and rural County Wexford addresses both use Eircodes. In the countryside around Enniscorthy, New Ross and Gorey, townland names replace street numbers. The Eircode is the only reliable way for the mover to find the correct property. Always include it in the enquiry.
A small shared load to Wexford starts from about 300 to 900 pounds for single items. A part load of a few rooms runs from about 1,200 to 3,000 pounds. A full house on a dedicated van starts from about 3,500 pounds. Wexford's proximity to Rosslare Europort means the Irish road leg is one of the shortest in the country. The firm price is confirmed by the mover after a survey.
