Importing from Holland to the UK
Today, importing goods from the Netherlands to the UK requires specialised knowledge and a dependable partner. At Barrington Freight, we excel in providing seamless and efficient import services from the Netherlands. We have decades of experience shipping cargo from Europe to the UK, so we know we can help get your consignment where it needs to go, whether it is a full load, a partial load, a groupage or an express service you’re after. Although importing from Holland and the rest of the Netherlands only requires a relatively short transit from the UK, all goods, whether imported or exported between Holland and the UK, must be declared. Businesses that import from the Netherlands are expected to adhere to the same rules, stipulations and customs conventions as any other international “third country”.
While this can make road freight arrangements when importing from the Netherlands more complicated, the process poses no problems for an expert freight forwarder like Barrington Freight. Our team of in-house customs experts will ensure your consignment is compliant, saving you time and money at the borders.

How Has the UK’s EU Departure Altered the Importation Process from the Netherlands?
Brexit has introduced significant changes to the importation process from the Netherlands to the UK. Importers now face additional customs checks, potential tariffs and extensive documentation requirements. Accurate classification of goods using Harmonised System (HS) codes is essential to determine applicable duties. Importers must ensure compliance with both UK and EU standards, particularly with the stringent regulations imposed by Dutch authorities. These changes necessitate careful planning and some increased administrative costs to ensure smooth and compliant import operations, something our operations team can help you to overcome cost-effectively.

Importing from the Netherlands: VAT Considerations
It’s important to understand VAT responsibilities when importing from the Netherlands. Post-Brexit, import VAT must be paid upon goods entering the UK, but businesses can reclaim this as input VAT. Register for VAT if your turnover is approaching or above the threshold. Setting up VAT deferment accounts can help importers to manage their cash flow more effectively.
