There are no duty free allowances between any member state of the EU and Northern Ireland. Travellers can bring in for their personal use an unlimited quantity of goods from any EU member state into Northern Ireland without paying UK duties and taxes on arrival.

For goods brought into Great Britain from a member state of the EU by a traveller for their personal use, duty free allowances apply.
