Kent customs agent opens Ireland office

[ April 22, 2026   //   ]

Ashford, Kent-based customs and freight forwarding specialist Zelir Logistics has opened a new office in Dublin, The company says it will be able to offer a more complete service for customers moving goods between the UK and Ireland, providing both import and export declarations in-house, without relying on third-party partners.

Director Joe Jeffery, said: “Opening in Dublin is a really important step for us because it gives us greater control over the service we provide on Irish movements. Our reputation has been built on speed and responsiveness, and this enables us to keep control of efficiency levels at all stages of the process.

“At the same time, the wider customs and freight landscape has become more complex, with continued attention on new and evolving border requirements such as the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) and Import Control System 2 (ICS2). These changes are increasing demand for practical, up-to-date support from businesses that need fast answers and dependable handling.”

Zelir plans to open more European offices. Jeffery explained: “Our long-term aim is to build more of that capability in-house across Europe, but the priority is to keep improving what we do and make sure the service remains as strong as the growth.” 

Work is also continuing on Z Clear, a new online platform designed to allow customers to submit some customs documents themselves when needed, while still having access to Zelir’s support and guidance.
