Netherlands Customs Requirements for Parcels from the UK
Since the UK is outside the European Union, parcels sent from the UK to the Netherlands must clear customs. The shipment details must be accurate to reduce the risk of delays, additional charges or return.
EORI Numbers for Business Shipments
Businesses involved in customs declarations generally require an EORI number. An EORI number is not automatically required from every individual sending a personal parcel. UDS can provide customs documentation support, but Dutch Customs determines the final taxes, duties and clearance requirements.
For current information on duties, VAT and paperwork, read our UK to Netherlands customs charges and documents guide.
Customs Documents You May Need
Depending on the shipment, the required information may include:
• A customs declaration
• A commercial or pro forma invoice
• A clear description, quantity and value of every item
• The country of origin and relevant commodity code
• A packing list or proof of origin where applicable
Import VAT and Customs Duty
The recipient may need to pay Netherlands import VAT, Customs Duty and clearance charges. The amount depends on the goods, value, origin and applicable tariff code.
Goods meeting UK–EU preferential origin rules may qualify for reduced or zero Customs Duty when valid proof of origin is provided. Import VAT and clearance charges may still apply.
From 1 July 2026, separate duty rules apply to qualifying low-value e-commerce shipments sent directly to EU consumers, including certain consignments valued up to €150.
