Cost-effective deliveries from Netherlands and across the Globe
Freight to the UK from the Netherlands, also known as Holland, is easy with Barrington Freight.
Importing from the Netherlands to the UK
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, partial load, groupage or express. Although importing from Holland is only a short transit from the UK, from 1 January 2021, goods imported or exported between Holland and the UK must be declared, unlike prior to Brexit when the UK was still an EU country and part of the single market. Now businesses trading between the countries are expected to adhere to the same rules, stipulations and customs conventions as any other international “third country”. While this has made sending freight more complicated, this is by no means impossible with 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.
Customs Requirements
An essential customs requirement is not one, but two EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) required – one for the UK and another for the EU border side. Our blog, What is an EORI Number has more. Your shipment of goods will also determine what customs paperwork you need to submit, so it is best to do your research and get the latest advice from an experienced customs agent. Speak to your freight forwarder and customs team for up-to-date information.
Import Requirements
VAT and Duty Fees
Post-Brexit imports to the UK from any European country attract duties unless the goods fall under the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, allowing tariff-free trade with the exporter making an official declaration stating a local business manufactured the goods in the Netherlands. There are also mutual arrangements for VAT liability in place, so always be sure to take expert guidance to see what fits your consignment and the cargo you are shipping.
