Why UK shops stopped delivering to the Netherlands

Post-Brexit customs requirements turned UK-to-Netherlands shipments into international exports, requiring customs declarations and EU import compliance. Many UK retailers removed the Netherlands and other EU countries from their delivery options to avoid the overhead.

British expats living in the Netherlands, and Dutch shoppers who want access to UK-exclusive products and UK pricing, face this restriction regularly. PostUK removes it.

Frequently asked questions

Why do UK shops not deliver to the Netherlands?

Post-Brexit customs requirements led many UK retailers to remove EU delivery options. PostUK bypasses this by receiving parcels at a UK address first, then forwarding to the Netherlands.

Is it legal to use a UK forwarding address?

Yes. UK parcel forwarding is completely legal. You provide a real UK address for delivery and PostUK ships the parcel on to you internationally.

Will I pay BTW or customs charges?

Dutch BTW (21%) may apply, plus customs duty on goods over €150. These are charged by Dutch customs and are separate from PostUK prices. See our customs guide.
