Ask about compliance documentation →What this lands at in Ireland
EPOS hardware, scanners and printers bought factory-direct from Shenzhen typically land in Ireland 40–55% below retail-tech distributor pricing for equivalent specification. Most POS hardware attracts 0–3.7% EU import duty depending on HS code (ADP/printer/scanner classifications); VAT at 23% applies on CIF + duty. A full landed-cost calculation is provided at quote stage.
Lead time and logistics
Lead time: 5–7 weeks production + 4–5 weeks sea freight (Shenzhen/Yantian → Dublin).
Terminals and peripherals ship cartonised on pallets, foam-protected. Ériu Sourcing verifies OS image, peripheral compatibility, branding and EU compliance at the factory before shipment, and can pre-configure units to your software stack.
Electronics, sourcing questions answered
Can I source card-payment terminals from China for the Irish market?
Card-accepting payment terminals are a special case: they require PCI PTS hardware certification, EMV Level 1/2 certification and card-scheme (Visa/Mastercard) approval to process payments in Ireland and the EU. Many retail "POS terminals" are non-payment Android devices that pair with a separate certified card reader. We are explicit about which category a product falls into and only describe a unit as payment-certified where it genuinely holds the certifications.
Can POS terminals be supplied pre-loaded with our EPOS software?
Yes. Android and Windows terminals can ship with a custom OS image and your EPOS application or launcher pre-installed, plus your branding. Tell us your software stack and peripheral list at brief stage and we configure and test with the factory before shipment.
Are the scanners and printers CE-compliant for Ireland?
Ériu Sourcing verifies an EU Declaration of Conformity covering LVD, EMC, RoHS and, for wireless models, RED at the factory before shipment. We obtain manufacturer-signed EU documentation rather than a Chinese third-party certificate.
What is a typical first order and lead time?
Lead time is typically 5–7 weeks production plus 4–5 weeks sea freight to Dublin. A mixed pallet of terminals, scanners and printers is a common first order; custom OS imaging or branding raises the minimum. We quote the exact MOQ for your specification.
