That stopped being the right question on 1 July 2026, when the EU removed the \u20ac150 duty exemption<\/a> for China e-commerce parcels and added a flat \u20ac3 customs duty per item. Dutch import VAT is 21% and it is charged on the goods value plus duty. The real cost now lives in the customs path you choose, not the kilogram rate on the label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Dutch Customs Route Fits You?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are three practical ways a China parcel can enter the Netherlands today. Each has a different cost structure and a different risk profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Path<\/th>Who it suits<\/th>What you pay<\/th>Typical total cost<\/th>Risk<\/th><\/tr>
IOSS prepaid<\/td>Single item \u2264\u20ac150 from a platform like AliExpress Choice or Temu<\/td>VAT at checkout, \u20ac3 duty, no extra fee<\/td>\u20ac80 item \u2192 \u20ac16.80 VAT + \u20ac3 duty<\/td>Order value must stay under \u20ac150; split shipments can push one over<\/td><\/tr>
DDP line<\/td>Multiple items, value over \u20ac150, or no Dutch VAT\/EORI number<\/td>VAT + duty + freight prepaid by forwarder<\/td>\u20ac200 item \u2192 \u20ac42 VAT + \u20ac3 duty + freight<\/td>Slightly higher base freight, but no door-step surprise<\/td><\/tr>
DDU \/ formal entry<\/td>Registered NL business with Article 23 deferment<\/td>VAT deferred, duty paid, plus broker fees<\/td>Broker \u20ac35\u201380 + duty per declaration<\/td>You file declarations; mistakes delay the whole batch<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The hidden trap is repetition. Four separate parcels, each arriving DDU, means four PostNL clearance fees. That is \u20ac40\u2013100 in handling before you even count VAT. One consolidated DDP box pays the VAT once and pays zero PostNL clearance fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you ask for a quote, decide which profile matches your cart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
