EU / Dutch Customs

Customs duty & import rules

Netherlands applies EU-wide customs rules. The €150 de minimis threshold means parcels valued under €150 (gift declared, personal use) typically clear without import duty — ideal for student care packs, festival gifts, ayurvedic medicine and personal items.

For commercial shipments or values above €150, 21% Dutch BTW (VAT) applies on the declared value plus shipping cost. A formal customs entry is required and duty is calculated by the recipient’s HS code. Most consumer goods carry 0–12% duty plus the 21% BTW. Bangalore B2B senders shipping tech samples or commercial inventory to EU customers should also factor the IOSS scheme for VAT pre-collection on consignments under €150 — we help structure invoicing so recipient VAT is handled cleanly.

Dutch customs (Douane) is widely regarded as one of the most efficient in EU thanks to Schiphol’s automated cargo systems. We prepare every consignment with a clean commercial invoice, KYC, EORI number (if commercial) so clearance happens in 1–2 days at Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) or Rotterdam Maasvlakte (sea — for non-courier).

Duty-free limit (gifts): €45 gift / €150 personal-use parcel
BTW (VAT): 21% on declared value above €150
Documentation: KYC + commercial invoice + recipient phone
Average clearance: 1–2 business days (fastest in EU)
Major port of entry: Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) — Europe's #3 cargo airport
