    How it works

    A UK store went from 102 to 319 international orders in six weeks after selling duty-paid with Teleship.

    How shipping to the Netherlands works.

    1. Step 1

      Connect your store

      Shopify, WooCommerce, ShipStation, Metapack or the API. Integrations.

    2. Step 2

      Check your HS codes

      Each distinct 6-digit HS code in a parcel under €150 is a €3 duty line, so classification sets the duty.

    3. Step 3

      Your customer pays Dutch VAT and duty at checkout

      Dutch VAT at 21%, the €3 duty and the €2 customs handling fee are in the price your customer sees, in EUR.

    4. Step 4

      Buy the label, drop it off

      Buy a duty-paid label from the order, then use a Post Office or a Royal Mail collection.

    Duty-paid services to the Netherlands.

    ServiceTypical deliveryDispatch
    Teleship Standard DDP4–6 business days, trackedPost Office or Royal Mail collection
    DHL Economy Select3–6 business days, by roadDHL pickup
    DHL Express Worldwide2–5 business daysDHL pickup

    Business days from hand-over to Royal Mail or DHL. Allow longer from mid-November to early January. DHL Economy Select covers 39 European countries, including Switzerland, Norway and Turkey. Teleship Standard DDP doesn't serve territories outside the EU VAT area, such as the Canary Islands, Ceuta, Melilla and the French overseas departments; use DHL there.

    Before you ship to the Netherlands.

    No VAT threshold

    Every EU parcel from the UK pays VAT at the destination's rate, from 17% to 27% across the EU. For the Netherlands that's Dutch VAT at 21%.

    IOSS, filed for you

    Up to €150, use your own IOSS number, or Teleship files IOSS for you for £1 a parcel. Above €150, Teleship is the importer of record for £4 a parcel.

    Charge VAT on shipping too

    Shipping is part of the EU VAT base. Make sure your store charges tax on shipping, or you collect less VAT than is paid.

    Group items by HS code

    Over-detailed classification costs money under the €3 rule: three items sharing one 6-digit HS code pay €3, three with three different codes pay €9.

    Product identifiers on every line

    EU declarations need product identifiers on every item line since 1 November 2026. Teleship adds them to every label. EU product identifiers.

    Returns

    Return costs and EU return labels are explained in the help centre. The €3 duty isn't refunded on returns. Returns.

    Three questions merchants ask about the Netherlands.

    Do my Dutch customers pay anything when the parcel arrives?
    No. The EU duty, the customs fee and Dutch VAT at 21% are paid at checkout and the parcel travels settled.
    Do I need an EU or Dutch VAT number?
    No. Up to €150 Teleship files IOSS for your orders every month; above €150 Teleship is the importer of record. Nothing to register.
    What does the new EU duty mean for my orders?
    Since 1 July 2026 low-value parcels pay €3 per product type (6-digit HS code) in the parcel, on orders up to €150. From 1 November 2026 there is also a €2 customs handling fee per declaration line, at any order value. Both are in the price your customer pays at checkout.
