Revenue and DPD warn Black Friday shoppers about scammers targeting sales

Customs duties and import VAT charges do not apply when ordering goods from Ireland or other EU countries online.

Both Revenue and DPD have issued warnings ahead of Black Friday, urging the public to be wary of "attractively low" prices and scammers.

This weekend will be one of the busiest shopping weekends of the entire year, as shops and online retailers slash prices on products, with thousands taking advantage of 'Black Friday' and 'Cyber Monday' sales.
