Customs & import duties in the Netherlands
Dutch BTW on every parcel
A parcel from Great Britain is an EU import, so Dutch BTW of 21% is charged on the goods plus shipping, from the first euro. Books, food and medicines fall under the reduced 9% rate.
Duty on parcels of any value
Since 1 July 2026 the EU no longer exempts low-value parcels from duty, so a small charge can apply below €150 as well. UK-made goods can still clear at 0% under the EU–UK trade agreement if the seller provides an origin statement; other goods pay the standard EU rate.
Estimate before you buy
The free duty calculator shows the total landed cost, so you know the amount due at the door in advance.
Duty calculatorDutch customs (Douane) collects BTW and any duty on arrival, and the courier normally adds its own clearance fee. These figures are estimates, so check the duty calculator for an exact amount before ordering.
What imports really cost in the Netherlands?
Calculations use Dutch BTW at 21% plus EU duty for each product type. Values include the goods and shipping.
| Item | Value + shipping | Customs duty | VAT (21%) | Estimated total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sneakers | €110 + €20 | €0 | €27.30 | €157.30 |
| Laptop | €999 + €25 | €0 | €215.04 | €1,239.04 |

R RyanFrequently asked questions
What is UK to Netherlands parcel forwarding?
We give you a UK address at our Manchester warehouse. You use it when ordering from British stores, the store delivers there as it would to any UK customer, and we send the parcel on to your Dutch address. Shops that refuse or overcharge for Netherlands delivery become available again.
Is UK to Netherlands parcel forwarding legit?
Yes. Parcel forwarding is legal and widely used, and a UK parcel to the Netherlands is cleared as a normal declared import. Judge any forwarder, us included, by independent reviews rather than its own marketing.
What is the best way of shipping from the UK to the Netherlands?
On price, DPD Classic European (£25.82) and Royal Mail International Tracked (£26.30) are the lowest for most parcels. FedEx World Express is quickest at 1 to 2 working days. The calculator above prices every service for your real weight and size.
How long does UK to Netherlands shipping take?
Between two and seven days depending on the courier: FedEx World Express takes 1 to 2 working days, UPS Express Saver 2 to 4, and DPD, Royal Mail or UPS Standard 3 to 6. The estimate is shown before payment.
Will I pay customs fees on parcels from the UK to the Netherlands?
Yes, in most cases. Every parcel from Great Britain pays Dutch BTW at 21% on goods plus shipping, whatever its value. Since July 2026 low-value parcels are no longer duty-free in the EU, although UK-made goods with proof of origin can still enter at 0%. Couriers usually add a clearance fee.
How much does UK to Netherlands parcel forwarding cost?
There is no fee for the UK address and no subscription. You pay per shipment, starting at £25.82 for 1 kg, plus £2 + VAT when you ask us to consolidate orders. The first 30 days of storage cost nothing.
Can I combine several UK orders into one parcel?
Yes. We store your parcels free for 30 days and then pack them into one box. You pay one delivery charge instead of several, and the shipment goes through Dutch customs once instead of once per order.
Which UK stores can I shop from the Netherlands?
Any store that ships to UK addresses, for example ASOS, Next, Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, Argos, Currys, Boots and Superdrug, including many that stopped sending to the Netherlands after Brexit. If your Dutch card is refused, our Buy For Me service can place the order.
What duty rates apply to UK parcels in the Netherlands?
Above €150 of goods, standard EU rates apply: around 12% for most clothing, 8% to 17% for footwear and 0% for most computers and phones under the EU information technology rules. Since July 2026 smaller parcels can carry duty too. The duty calculator shows the rate per category.
Which couriers deliver from the UK to the Netherlands?
DPD, Royal Mail, UPS and FedEx serve this route. The calculator lists each service with its live price and expected delivery date, so you can weigh speed against cost.
What if a UK store will not accept my Dutch card?
Some UK retailers accept only UK-issued cards. With Buy For Me you send us the product links, we pay with our UK payment details and then forward the order to you like any other parcel.
