Before You Ship to the Netherlands
We’ll send you the documents you need to make sure your shipment to the Netherlands makes its way through customs with ease. But we always recommend checking the Netherland’s customs requirements to make sure you don’t ship any restricted items, as this could delay your postage to Holland. And sending on the country’s national holidays could also mean your parcel will arrive later than expected - so it’s always a good idea to check those too.

Our Top Tip
Struggling to wrap your head around the customs and VAT when shipping internationally? We explain everything you need to know about shipping to Europe in our International Shipping Hub!
EU Customs Changes: What the New €3 Duty Means for Your Shipments
From 1 July 2026, the EU is introducing a flat €3 customs duty on individual items valued under €150, shipped from outside the EU. Crucially, the charge applies per product type within a parcel — not per parcel. Send a package containing a shirt, a phone case and a book, and you're looking at €9 in duty, not €3.
What you need to know:
Ship before 1 July 2026 to avoid the new charges on eligible consignments
Shipments over €150 are not subject to this flat levy — but will still need to pay standard customs duty rates
Private gifts between individuals valued under €45 remain exempt — find out more about customs & VAT
Business senders should use Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) at checkout — this settles all duties upfront so your recipient receives their parcel without unexpected charges at the door
For businesses and eCommerce sellers shipping regularly to EU customers, the per-item duty structure means costs can stack up quickly. Using DDP keeps the delivery experience smooth for your customers and reduces the risk of parcels being held at customs due to unpaid charges.

What Are the General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR)?
The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) came into effect on 13 December 2024, introducing updated product safety requirements for goods sold or shipped to the EU and Northern Ireland (NI).
If you're a UK business or online seller sending parcels internationally, the regulations may apply to your shipment. One of the main requirements is appointing a Responsible Person based in the EU or NI to oversee product compliance and safety. Products and packaging may also need to meet updated GPSR labelling requirements before they can be placed on the market.
Checking whether your goods comply with GPSR before booking international delivery can help avoid delays, returns or customs issues.
How does customs work when shipping to Netherlands?
The cost to ship to the Netherlands might be affected by EU VAT and customs duty. If your parcel is subject to EU VAT, the rate for the Netherlands is 21% of the total value of your parcel.
You won’t have to pay any extra charges if your shipment to the Netherlands is a gift under the value of €45.
So if you’re sending as an individual to another individual, and the value of the items inside plus the cost of shipping is less than €45, you won’t pay any VAT! Find out more about shipping gifts to the Netherlands and other EU countries.
If you’re sending from your business, or to another business, directly from a marketplace such as Amazon or eBay, or the value or your shipment is over €45, you will need to pay additional charges.
If you don’t want the recipient of your parcel to pay any tax or duty, choose a service that has our ‘Pre-Pay Delivery Duty Available' banners on. This means the service offers DDP (Delivery Duty Paid), which is where you pay any extra charges needed before you ship, so your receiver won’t have to deal with any surprise costs!
