Can you post liquids via royal mail to ireland

According to Royal Mail's guidelines, they do allow the posting of liquids, gels, and aerosols (LGA) via their services, but there are some restrictions and requirements you need to follow:

  1. Packaging: You must pack the liquids, gels, and aerosols securely in a leak-proof, tamper-evident container to prevent leakage or spillage during transit.
  2. Quantity: The total volume of LGA items in a single package must not exceed 100ml per item. If you're sending multiple items, the total volume must not exceed 1 liter.
  3. Labeling: You must clearly label each item as "Liquids, Gels, Aerosols" and include the following information:
    • The contents of the item
    • The quantity (volume) of the item
    • The name and address of the sender and recipient
  4. Declaration: You must complete a Declaration for Carriage (DA) form, which is available on Royal Mail's website or at your local post office. The DA form must be signed and attached to the outside of the package.
  5. Service restrictions: Some Royal Mail services have specific restrictions or requirements for sending LGA items. For example:
    • Special Delivery Guaranteed: This service allows LGA items, but you must use a special LGA envelope and complete a DA form.
    • International Signed: This service allows LGA items, but you must use a special LGA envelope and complete a DA form.
    • International Tracked: This service does not allow LGA items.
  6. Ireland-specific requirements: When sending LGA items to Ireland, you must comply with Irish customs regulations. You may need to complete a customs declaration form (C88) and attach it to the outside of the package.

To ensure a smooth and compliant posting process, I recommend checking Royal Mail's website for the most up-to-date information on sending LGA items to Ireland. You can also consult with your local post office or Royal Mail customer service for guidance.
