It all depends on Ireland Customs. If you are lucky, no duties nor taxes, because NM ships through the USPS and the package could be taken as a gift at the Customs. Otherwise, you could pay up to 35%. Try calling UPS or their online tool to calculate such taxes. Good luck!

oh my gosh, 35% that is steep!!

how much did you pay for the shoes? i recently paid 40 euro customs on shoes that cost me 235 dollars with shipment...

I can't believe that customs does this, what happens if the item is marked as a gift or used?

They cost me $434, so I will prob pay about €80 customs then.

Thanks

I think if it is a gift, you get away with it
