Brexit & Northern Ireland – Webshipper

Having troubling with shipments to UK after Brexit? Not to worry, you are not alone.

Brexit is a difficult subject when it comes to shipping and logistics, but we are here to help you as much as possible.

In short, Northern Ireland is a EU zone inside UK.
All zip codes starting with BT is located in Northern Ireland and is therefore a part of EU
(eventhough Northern Ireland is a part of UK which is not a part of UK).
