Sending Parcels from the UK to the Netherlands — How It Works
Many UK retailers stopped shipping internationally after Brexit, which means customers in the Netherlands often can't order directly from their favourite UK shops. PostUK solves this. We give you a real UK address for the Netherlands at our depot, so UK retailers can ship to you as normal. Once your parcel arrives, we forward it on to the Netherlands using your chosen courier.
Whether you're an expat living in the Netherlands or a Dutch shopper wanting access to UK brands and prices, PostUK gives you control: compare courier options, see the full cost upfront, and track delivery all the way to your door in the Netherlands.

Why Use a UK Parcel Forwarding Service for the Netherlands?
- Access UK-only retailers: many popular UK shops do not ship to the Netherlands. A UK forwarding address gives you full access to any UK retailer.
- Better control over shipping options: instead of being locked into a retailer's international shipping terms, you choose your own courier and service level when forwarding to the Netherlands.
- Parcel consolidation: ordered from several UK retailers? PostUK can combine multiple parcels into a single shipment to the Netherlands, reducing your overall postage costs.
- Tracked delivery: every shipment includes tracking so you can follow your parcel from the UK to the Netherlands.
- Transparent pricing: see the full shipping cost before you pay. No surprises, no hidden fees from PostUK.
Customs When Sending a Parcel to the Netherlands
The Netherlands is part of the EU, which means parcels arriving from the UK after Brexit are treated as imports from outside the EU. This has customs implications worth understanding before you shop.
- Customs duty: parcels with a declared value under €150 are generally exempt from EU customs duty. Above this threshold, duty may apply depending on the goods category.
- Dutch VAT (BTW): even for parcels under €150, Dutch BTW (currently 21% standard rate) may still be charged by customs on import. This is separate from any VAT paid at the point of purchase in the UK.
- Who pays: any applicable customs charges or import BTW are the responsibility of the recipient. These are separate from PostUK's shipping fees and are not collected by us.
- Accurate declarations: PostUK completes export documentation based on the parcel contents. Providing accurate item descriptions helps avoid delays at customs.

FAQs About Forwarding Parcels to the Netherlands
How much does it cost to send a parcel to the Netherlands?
The cost depends on parcel weight, dimensions, and which courier you choose. PostUK shows you available options and the full price before you commit. Use the Quick Quote tool for an upfront estimate.
How long does it take to send a parcel to the Netherlands?
Standard services to the Netherlands typically take 3–6 working days from dispatch. Estimated transit times are shown before payment so you can choose accordingly.
Will I have to pay Dutch customs duties or BTW?
Possibly. The Netherlands is in the EU, so UK imports may be subject to Dutch BTW (21% standard rate) and, for orders over €150, customs duty. These charges are assessed by Dutch customs and are the responsibility of the recipient — they are not included in PostUK's shipping fees.
Can I track my parcel to the Netherlands?
Yes. Tracking is included with every shipment. Once your parcel has been dispatched, you can follow it from our UK depot to your address in the Netherlands.
Can I buy from UK shops that do not ship to the Netherlands?
Yes — that's exactly what PostUK is for. You get a real UK delivery address, so UK retailers ship to you as normal. PostUK then forwards the parcel on to the Netherlands. It works for any UK shop, including those that stopped international shipping after Brexit.
Can I combine multiple parcels into one shipment?
Yes. PostUK offers parcel consolidation. If you have ordered from several UK retailers, we can combine the parcels into a single shipment to the Netherlands — which is often more cost-effective than forwarding each parcel separately.
