How does post-Brexit IE↔GB shipping work in Magento?

Since 1 January 2021 the UK left the EU customs union, so every IE↔GB shipment now needs customs declarations and origin certificates:

  • IE→GB B2C: commercial invoice with HS commodity codes, EORI numbers (both sides), and a UK VAT registration if you exceed £135 threshold per shipment.
  • IE→GB B2B: reverse-charge VAT with valid GB VAT number; CN23 or commercial-invoice-only depending on value.
  • GB→IE: EU import VAT collected at delivery (or via IOSS for < €150 orders).
  • NI special status via the Windsor Framework — NI follows EU rules for goods, GB rules for VAT. We handle this with shipping_table_rate + customs-aware checkout.

We wire An Post + DPD Ireland + DHL Express for IE↔GB lanes with auto-generated commercial invoices and origin declarations.
