Customs’ processes to get an item in or out of the country can be time-consuming.

The most common customs procedure is called “ordinary import or export“ and applies to purchases and sales of goods. Other types may for example be:

• Temporary import or export
  Goods imported of exported for temporary use – repair, processing, etc.

• Re-importation or re-exportation
  Goods re-imported or re-exported after temporary importation or exportation.

When importing goods to the Netherlands you must declare the goods to Dutch Customs

As an importer, you are required to report to the Dutch authorities all the goods you bring into the country. Feel free to contact us for more information about customs clearance of imports. 

When exporting goods from the Netherlands to a country outside the EU, you must declare the goods to customs.

Do you need customs credit? 

Sometimes it’s useful to request credit from customs. This allows for simplified payment of duties and taxes, with the option to pay later and settle the total amount at a later date. ColliCare can assist in applying for such credit. We can also arrange a bond, for example, if your company does not have its own VAT number.

Do you need bonded warehouse services?

ColliCare has approved bonded warehouses in accordance with current regulations. There are strict requirements for bonded warehouses and what they can store without customs clearance. Storage periods also have given deadlines and conditions continually regulated by Dutch Customs.
