Transport of goods from England to the Netherlands
Documents necessary to move to the Netherlands:
After Brexit, the situation related to relocations is slightly more complicated and requires completing the Transfer of Residence procedure in order to avoid import VAT (21% of the total value) on the property moved to the Netherlands.
As the Ban Trans team, we strive to make the entire moving process easier for you and for this purpose you will need to prepare the following documents:
• Copy of ID card or passport;
• A certificate issued by a local government in the Netherlands confirming your place of residence, or if an EU customs agent agrees, then you only need to provide a document confirming that you are an EU resident or intend to become one;
• A detailed bill of lading with the value, size and weight of each item listed;
• British residence certificate or other evidence that you have lived in the UK for at least the last 12 months (e.g. 12 months of council tax bills or bank statements showing your address);
• A declaration to the customs authorities that you have used the household items at your usual place of residence in the UK for more than six months and that you will not sell, rent or pawn them once you receive them in your new place, and that you intend to remain an EU resident for at least one year.
• Signed authorization for the customs clearance agent to act on your behalf.
Print and sign all required documents and have them ready for the driver before collecting your property and, for safety, also send them electronically.
Another important document is the CMR form, which our driver will provide you to complete on the day of the move.
To speed up this process, you can contact your local customs office in the Netherlands.
You can find out more information about bringing personal items into the Netherlands directly from the government websites Custom Administration of the Netherlands
