🇳🇱 Netherlands · Import & Export

Customs procedures, duties, de minimis thresholds, EORI/registration, and restricted goods.

Customs are run by Dutch Customs (Douane), part of the Belastingdienst. As an EU member, the Netherlands allows free movement within the EU; non-EU imports need an EORI number and a declaration.

  • Trade within the EU single market is generally free of customs duties and formalities.
  • Rotterdam is a major EU entry point; non-EU imports require an EORI number.
  • Duties and import VAT on non-EU goods are declared at clearance.
