Customs & import duties in the Netherlands
Dutch BTW on every parcel
Since Brexit a parcel from Great Britain is an import into the EU, so Dutch VAT (BTW) at 21% applies to the goods plus the shipping, with no minimum value. A reduced 9% rate covers books, food and medicines.
Duty only above €150
Customs duty starts once the goods alone are worth more than €150, shipping excluded. Goods actually made in the UK can still clear at 0% under the EU–UK trade agreement when the seller supplies a statement of origin; anything made elsewhere pays the normal EU rate.

R RyanFrequently asked questions
What is UK to Netherlands parcel forwarding?
You get a real UK address at our Manchester warehouse, use it at checkout in any British store, and we forward the parcel on to your address in the Netherlands. To the shop it is an ordinary domestic delivery, which puts the retailers that refuse Dutch addresses — or charge heavily for them — back within reach.
Is UK to Netherlands parcel forwarding legit?
Yes. Forwarding is a completely normal, legal service used by millions of shoppers, and a parcel from Britain to the Netherlands is simply a declared import like any other. As with any provider, check independent reviews rather than relying on a company’s own claims.
What is the best way of shipping from the UK to the Netherlands?
For most parcels DPD Classic European (£25.82) or Royal Mail International Tracked (£26.30) are the cheapest, and FedEx World Express is the fastest at 1–2 working days. The calculator above shows every service with live prices for your actual weight and size.
How long does UK to Netherlands shipping take?
Two to seven days door to door, depending on the service: 1–2 working days with FedEx World Express, 2–4 with UPS Express Saver, 3–6 with DPD, Royal Mail or UPS Standard. You see the estimate before you pay.
Will I pay customs fees on parcels from the UK to the Netherlands?
Usually some. Since Brexit, Dutch VAT at 21% applies to the goods plus shipping on every parcel from Great Britain, with no minimum value. Customs duty only starts above €150 of goods, and UK-made goods can still be duty-free under the EU–UK trade agreement. Couriers normally add a clearance handling fee as well.
How much does UK to Netherlands parcel forwarding cost?
The UK address itself is free, with no subscription. You pay only when you ship: from £25.82 for a 1 kg parcel, plus £2 + VAT if you want several orders combined into one. Storage is free for the first 30 days.
Can I combine several UK orders into one parcel?
Yes, and on this route it is where the savings are. We hold your parcels free for 30 days, then repack them into a single shipment so you pay one delivery charge instead of four — and clear customs once rather than four times.
Which UK stores can I shop from the Netherlands?
Any store that delivers within the UK: ASOS, Next, Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, Argos, Currys, Boots, Superdrug and thousands more, including the retailers that quietly dropped Dutch delivery after Brexit. If a store will not take your Dutch card, our Buy For Me service can buy the items for you.
What duty rates apply to UK parcels in the Netherlands?
Only above €150 of goods. Clothing is typically 12%, footwear 8–17%, and most computers and phones are 0% under the EU’s information technology rules. Our duty calculator applies the right rate per category before you buy.
Which couriers deliver from the UK to the Netherlands?
DPD, Royal Mail, UPS and FedEx all run this route, and the calculator shows each available service with live prices and delivery dates so you can pick your balance of speed and cost.
What if a UK store will not accept my Dutch card?
Some British retailers only accept UK-issued cards. Our Buy For Me service solves that: tell us what you want, we purchase it on your behalf with our own local payment details, then forward it to you like any other order.
