Customs Clearance
Importing household and personal effects in a country in the EU means that one has to deal with the rules the EU countries have adopted individually. Unfortunately, the Netherlands at this point have fairly strict and complex regulations concerning customs clearance, which contrasts negatively with many of the other EU partners.
In contrast to the UK, where completing a simple C3 form is sufficient for duty free import of household and personal effects, the Netherlands has a procedure that presents a long list of documents required.
You can apply for an Exemption from Duties and Taxes for household and personal effects.
In order to be granted this exemption there are some restrictions that will apply, such as
- Importer should have officially resided outside the EU for a period of at least 12 month
- The goods should have been personally owned and used by importer for at least 6 months and not have been purchased for the purpose of this importation.
- The goods should be in your personal posession for at least 12 months after importation in the EU
For a fixed rate of € 185,00 T we gladly arrange the customs clearance for you. We will supply you with the neccesary documents, collect and check everything and do the customs application.

Super professional, highly recommended!
Although the team was about 30~ min late, they let us know ahead of time so it was no problem waiting for them. They were super fast, careful and overall very professional.zeer goed
Wij zijn goed verhuisd door Maarten en zijn medewerkersVoor de tweede maal ; helemaal top gedaan.
Geweldig behulpzame en beleefde mannen en jongens! Niets was hen teveel en ze hebben ongelooflijk hard gewerkt!Fantastic and effortless moving experience
The team did an incredible job, they were early to the move, dealt with me, and my girlfriend and are cat superbly. All of our items were taken safely and securely and then moving them into the new place the team put them in the right rooms. Would highly recommend.Hele fijne verhuizing
Zeer proffesioneel, meedenkend, en snel.Een fijne club met snelle en vriendelijke mensen
Ik was laat met de aanvraag maar kon gelukkig bij M en M terecht. Met 2 vriendelijke mannen een verhuiswagen en een lift was de verhuizing in een paar uur gedaan. Zeer tevreden dus zeker een aanrader.Zorgen gemaakt om niets, alles tiptop !
De jongens (Alex en Lucas) waren: Op tijd Vriendelijk Netjes Kundig Voorzichtig Vlot Gezellig Wat mij betreft verdienen ze alle 2 de prijs !Helpful and quick
When I needed to coordinate the original move, which involved four different addresses, Maarten was super friendly and available. Then on the day itself, Louis and Cherence were very fast and able to move our furniture items despite a mostly-blocked entranceway and a very difficult elevator. They made everything easy and I'd definitely recommend them!Amsterdam Removal
