The Netherlands, a country in northwestern Europe, is known for its flat landscape, canals, tulip fields, windmills and cycling routes. The Netherlands, the sixth-largest economy in the European Union, plays an important role as a European transportation hub, with a persistently high trade surplus, stable industrial relations, and moderate unemployment. Industry focuses on food processing, chemicals, petroleum refining, and electrical machinery. A highly mechanized agricultural sector employs only 2% of the labor force but provides large surpluses for food-processing and underpins the country’s status as the world’s second largest agricultural exporter. The Netherlands is part of the Eurozone, and as such, its monetary policy is controlled by the European Central Bank.

 

Customs Tariffs

The Netherlands is part of the trade system of the European Union (EU) and importing and exporting are covered by EC Regulations.

A Common External Tariff (CET) is applicable to other countries.

The European Community has created the Binding Tariff Information (BTI) system as a tool to obtain the correct tariff classification for goods for import or export.

Non-tariff barriers

Imports of a number of items are restricted and may also depend on the country of origin of the product. 

Imports of food and agricultural products from outside the EU covered by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP goods) are often subject to customs duty and quotas and may require a license or certificate.

The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority provides information on importing food from outside the EU.

Trade with certain countries is forbidden or restricted in accordance with UN, EU or OSCE sanctions.

Certificates

Certification, labelling and packaging must meet EU requirements. 

CE Mark

The CE mark is a mandatory conformity marking for certain products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA). 

Labelling

All labelling and information directives of the European Council must be met, as well as local and national regulations.

Food information and labelling legislation must comply with EU legislation.

For organic produce, EU legislation requires that imported organic food from third countries be produced to the same standards as that from or EU. 

Special certificates

There are controls on imports into The Netherlands on a number of products. Based on a risk analysis, containers are selected for inspection. Customs can extract containers from the logistics chain and inspect them.

Safety

The safety concept can be divided into social safety and product safety. Social safety concerns matters such as:

  • the entry of goods that may disrupt social life in connection with terrorism
  • the protection of public health and the environment

Product safety concerns, for example:

  • goods of inferior quality
  • counterfeit goods

Taxes on imported goods

When importing goods into the Netherlands from outside the European Union (EU), you will usually have to pay import duties. You will also have to pay VAT and in some cases excise duty, consumption tax or other levies.

Import duties

Import duties are levied on imported goods. The Dutch Customs authorities levy and collect the duty and transfer the sums collected to the EU. Member states are entitled to retain a portion of the import duties that they collect to cover collection costs.

Customs authorities do not levy import duties on products traded between EU member states. However, VAT will be payable. Some products are also subject to excise duty and consumption tax. 

All EU member states apply the same common customs tariff (CCT).

Protection against low prices

Levying import duties on imported goods is a way of protecting countries against cheaper products from third countries. Companies in some countries can produce their products more cheaply due to lower wages, costs and prices. Adding import duties to these products makes them more expensive, thereby narrowing the price difference and enabling countries to compete more effectively with producers in third countries.

VAT and reverse charging

In addition to import duties, you normally have to pay VAT. The VAT rate is the same as that which applies to supplies of goods and services in the Netherlands. In some cases VAT can be declared by the customer as if it had supplied the goods/services, under the reverse charging mechanism.

Excise duty and consumption tax

Excise duty is payable on excise goods, which include:

  • alcoholic beverages (such as beer and wine);
  • tobacco products (such as cigarettes and cigars);
  • mineral oils (such as diesel or petrol).

Tobacco products require a valid Dutch excise stamp. Consumption tax is also payable on imports of non-alcoholic beverages.

Other levies

In some cases other levies are payable on imported goods, for instance agricultural levies on agricultural products or anti-dumping duty on industrial products. These levies are intended to prevent products coming onto the European market at exceptionally low prices.

Customs: Import controls

Companies and consumers must satisfy a number of regulations before they may import goods. Import taxes may have to be paid, for example, and goods that are not safe may be banned. Customs checks goods that are brought into the Netherlands by companies and private individuals.

Importation of goods

All goods that are imported from a third country first acquire the status of 'goods in temporary storage'. The importer must declare how they will be treated or used and can then use one of the customs procedures.

A well-known procedure is 'release for free circulation'. The goods then acquire the status of 'Community goods' and may circulate freely within the EU single market. The importer pays customs duties to acquire this status. Importers usually rely on the expertise and credit facilities of customs agents to deal with the formalities of importing goods.

Goods placed under customs supervision

The ultimate treatment or use is not always known when goods are imported. If the goods are immediately re-exported, they are not released into free circulation in the EU and the importer need not pay customs duties. Customs-approved treatments or uses have therefore been introduced in which the goods are placed under customs supervision and duties are not payable.

This procedure is used if, for example, goods must first pass health, safety and environmental checks before they can be released into free circulation. An importer needs a licence to place goods under customs supervision.

Other examples of customs-approved treatment or use are external transit, customs warehousing, temporary importation and inward processing. 

Customs procedures

Customs does its best to admit goods quickly and simply but still carry out appropriate checks. To this end, it uses the opportunities provided by the European customs procedures. Where possible, Customs seeks simpler solutions. Examples of this approach include:

Use of simplified procedures

Simplified procedures are often available to help businesses complete customs formalities. If a company keeps approved accounts, for example, Customs is willing to accept them for its checks. This prevents the duplication of work. If necessary, checks of the accounts are combined with a physical inspection of the goods.

Combinations of simplified procedures

Businesses that keep their accounts electronically can use a combination of simplified procedures. These include: accounts-based checks of goods in storage in combination with simplified procedures to transport the goods to and from the warehouse.

Health, safety, economic and environmental checks

Customs supervises the import (Import Control System), export (Export Control System) and transit (NCTS) of goods. It determines whether the goods comply with health, safety and environmental standards. With regard to health and the environment, it checks, amongst other things, the quality of medicines and tobacco products and inspects the transportation of live animals. With regard to economic requirements, it checks licenses for firearms and ammunition and for counterfeit products.

In order to be allowed to export Community goods, the exporter must file an 'export declaration'. There are certain requirements that you must meet for tax purposes. You must also observe a number of rules concerning safety, health, economy and environment.
