Default Any restrictions taking food in car to Eire from uk

Hi, hope someone can advise regarding travelling to Eire from Holyhead by car, with snacks, food (for first day or so at the Airbnb), oil, coffee tins etc so as not to have to duplicate what we already have at home? Are there restrictions these days? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Normally the Irish are very easy going, but rules after Brexit here if checked. Source Irish Ferries:https://www.irishferries.com/uk-en/f...s/top-10-faqs/

Customs Allowances / Restrictions & Duty Free

  • Taking food and drink into EU countries
Passengers arriving from GB will not be able to take meat, milk or products containing them into EU countries from 1 January 2021. There are some exceptions, for example certain amounts of powdered infant milk, infant food, or pet food required for medical reasons. Check the rules about taking food and drink into the EU on the European Commission website.
  • Taking plants and plant products into EU countries
Passengers arriving from GB need a certificate to take certain plants and plant products into EU countries from 1 January 2021. Check the rules about taking plants and plant products into the EU on the European Commission website.
  • VAT, Customs and excise duty controls - Passenger Luggage
VAT, Customs and excise duty controls will apply to passenger luggage for arrivals into EU countries from GB. Standard EU duty free allowances will apply to arrivals into the EU. The UK have increased their duty-free allowances but have removed their duty-paid allowance. Goods which are temporarily imported may be declared for temporary admission using an “ATA Carnet”. These are customs documents permitting the duty-free and tax-free temporary export and import of goods for up to one year. Visitors from the UK may avail of VAT refunds in the EU for goods purchased during their stay. There will be restrictions on Cultural Goods.
