A parcel delivery company is set to temporarily stop its collection service due to Brexit.
DPD says it will suspend its collection service from mainland Great Britain into the Republic and Northern Ireland from December 23rd, 2020.
The company said on its website: " Brexit is due to come into effect on January 1st, 2021 - the transition period ends on December 31st, 2020. For all goods coming into or out of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland from Great Britain, declarations will be required.
"As of Tuesday the 8th of December, the EU and UK agreed in principle on the process for implementing the NI Protocol as part of the Withdrawal Agreement for Brexit.
"After speaking with HMRC, we have confirmation that as part of the agreement, for the vast majority of goods travelling from Northern Ireland to Great Britain, no customs formalities will be required from January 1st 2021.
"This means DPD Ireland will NOT ask for any customs details from you for your goods travelling from NI to GB, ROI or EU. Customs formalities will STILL be required for goods from GB into NI and we await further clarification from the UK and EU on those details."
A note then adds: "We will be temporarily suspending our collection service from mainland Great Britain into the Republic and Northern Ireland from December 23rd 2020.
"We hope to reinstate the service in due course and will keep you up to date regarding any changes."
