Exporting to the Netherlands
The Netherlands is the UK’s fourth-largest export market, and UK businesses have shipped more than £53.9 billion worth of goods and services there in the last year alone. It is positioned as a gateway into mainland Europe. The culture and consumer base in the Netherlands has a genuine appetite for British products, making exporting to the Netherlands one of the most accessible and rewarding routes for UK businesses looking to grow overseas.
At Origin Logistics, we offer complete UK to Netherlands export services. Our friendly team manages the full journey, from collection to delivery, dealing with every stage in between, such as customs clearance and cross-border transit. Whether you’re establishing a new export relationship with a Dutch buyer or scaling up your existing supply chain, we have the experience and network to support you
What Customs Paperwork Is Required to Export From the UK to Belgium?
Since the UK left the EU customs union, every commercial consignment crossing into Belgium needs a matching pair of declarations. One of these must be filed before departure with HMRC, and the other one should be lodged with Belgian customs authorities before your goods can clear into the country
The Origin team takes responsibility for:
Filing UK export declarations through HMRC’s Customs Declaration Service
Confirming EORI registration is valid for both the sending and receiving businesses
Assigning accurate commodity codes so the correct duty rate applies
Advising on Belgian import VAT obligations and who's liable for what
Preparing origin paperwork to support reduced-tariff claims under the UK–EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement
Liaising directly with Belgian-based customs agents to keep clearance moving
The biggest reason that goods get held at the Belgian border is paperwork mistakes. At Origin Logistics, we build every declaration carefully and check it before submission, ensuring your shipment isn’t the one sitting in the queue.
