Another thank you to Gareth for helping us navigate the hurdles of getting goods into Ireland. We regularly operate house removals to and from France, but Ireland has been a real problem for us since Brexit. CustomsLink are friendly, professional & knowledgeable in all aspects of customs clearance. I always say 'never again' when we have completed an ROI removal, but now that we have found CustomsLink, we'll have no worries again. We will certainly be recommending you to our colleagues in the industry.
