Wholesale Kids Clothes for Ireland Buyers — Direct from Turkey
Irish buyers have had to rethink sourcing since Brexit made GB-routed supply chains slower and more paperwork-heavy. Direct Turkish sourcing avoids that entirely: goods travel within the EU-Turkey customs union and enter Ireland duty-free with an A.TR certificate, without a GB land-bridge transit document. Transit runs seven to nine days by road and ferry, or two to four days by air into Dublin. The Irish market is dominated by independent boutiques and online sellers with modest depth per style, so our 50-piece minimum and mixed-style consolidation matches how Irish shops actually buy. Weight-wise, Ireland behaves like a mild-winter market — mid-weight cotton and light layering rather than heavy Nordic outerwear.

Questions
Frequently asked
Do goods from Turkey pass through Great Britain?+
Not on our standard routing. We use direct continental-to-Ireland ferry services, which keeps the shipment inside EU customs territory and avoids GB transit documents entirely.
Is import duty payable in Ireland?+
No duty on qualifying Turkish-origin apparel under the EU-Turkey customs union with an A.TR certificate. Irish VAT applies at import.
What is a realistic first order for an Irish boutique?+
Three to four styles at 50 pieces each — around 150-200 pieces total — is the most common opening order.
Can you supply for Irish online sellers with dropship-style demand?+
We are a wholesale supplier and do not dropship, but we do hold reorder-ready stock on core styles so online sellers can replenish in small, frequent batches.
How long is a full reorder cycle to Ireland?+
Around four weeks: 12-18 days production plus 7-9 days transit. Air express can compress that to under three weeks.
