Courier Service From Chennai to Netherlands

Q: Do I have to pay Dutch VAT (BTW) on my shipment from Chennai?

Yes, the standard 21% VAT applies to all commercial goods regardless of value, as the EU has removed the low-value VAT exemption.

Q: What is the customs duty threshold for shipments to the Netherlands?

If the shipment value exceeds €150, customs duties apply based on the product's HS code. Shipments under €150 are duty-free but still subject to the €2 handling fee.

Q: Can I send wooden handicrafts or furniture from India to Amsterdam?

Yes, but you must ensure the wood is legally sourced and not from endangered species. Untreated wood may require a FLEGT license depending on its origin.

Q: How do I calculate the 21% VAT on my shipment?

VAT is calculated on the total customs value, which includes the cost of goods, shipping, and insurance. Import duty is added first, and then VAT is applied to the total amount.
