The company says its prepared itself for a no-deal scenario.
Chief Executive of DPD Ireland Des Travers says customers will have to pay anything due before their parcel is delivered.
“We notify the customers of duties and taxes before we do the entry,” he explained.

“They will pay us prior to the driver getting there and the driver would deliver the parcel as normal.”
