Import duty & VAT in the Netherlands
How the calculator estimates duty and tax for Netherlands. Rates are the standard defaults — always editable and best confirmed against the official schedule for your exact goods.
- Import VAT (BTW) is 21% (9% reduced rate for some goods), charged on the customs value plus duty plus transport to the EU border.
- Customs duty follows the EU Common Customs Tariff (TARIC) — the same rates apply across all EU member states.
- €150 threshold — consignments of €150 or less are free of customs duty; import VAT applies from the first euro.
- Many importers use the Dutch Article 23 licence to defer import VAT to the periodic return rather than paying it at the border.
Estimates for guidance only — not legal or customs advice. Confirm duty rates and thresholds with the official tariff schedule or a licensed customs broker before you file.

A supplier's quote rarely tells the full story. Ocean or air freight, marine insurance, import duty, VAT or GST, and customs brokerage can add 15–40% to your product cost. EximKit's Landed Cost Calculator models every layer — including your Incoterm and de-minimis rules — so you know the real per-unit number before you wire a deposit.

FAQ
Landed cost questions
How much is import VAT in the Netherlands?
The standard BTW (VAT) rate is 21%, with a 9% reduced rate for some goods. It is charged on the customs value plus duty plus transport and insurance to the EU border.
Can I defer import VAT in the Netherlands?
Yes. With an Article 23 licence, import VAT is reported and reclaimed on your periodic VAT return instead of being paid at the border, which improves cash flow for regular importers.
What is a de-minimis threshold?
It's the shipment value below which a country waives duty (and sometimes tax). The calculator flags whether your shipment is above or below it.
Do Incoterms change my landed cost?
Yes. Your Incoterm decides which costs are already in the supplier price. Pick CIF and freight/insurance are included; pick DDP and duty/tax are paid by the seller.
