Frequently asked customs questions

Are import duties the same throughout the European Union?

No, import duties can vary within the European Union. Although the EU has a common trade policy, individual member states may still have their own tariffs on certain products. It is important to check the specific tariffs for each country before importing goods. By contacting us, we can advise you on the appropriate tariffs in the Netherlands.

Are commodity codes the same throughout the European Union?

Yes, HS (Harmonized System codes) codes are standardized worldwide. They are used to classify goods for customs and trade purposes. This means that the same goods have the same HS code throughout the EU, which facilitates uniformity when importing and exporting goods. By contacting us, we can advise you on this.

Are VAT rates the same throughout the European Union?

No, VAT rates vary from country to country within the European Union. Although there is a minimum standard rate set by the EU (currently 15%), many countries have set higher rates for certain goods and services. It is important to check the specific VAT rate for each country to comply with local regulations and tax obligations. By contacting us, we can advise you on the appropriate rates in the Netherlands.

Which Incoterms® should I use?

To determine which Incoterms® to use for your shipment, it is important to consider several factors, including the nature of your goods, the degree of control and responsibility desired, and the terms agreed upon with your trading partner. Some common Incoterms include EXW (Ex Works), FOB (Free on Board), CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) and DAP (Delivered at Place).

ls, for example, you want to retain maximum control over your shipment and avoid all costs and risks, EXW may be appropriate, where the buyer is responsible for all aspects of transportation. On the other hand, if you want the seller to take more responsibility and deliver the goods to the port of departure, FOB may be appropriate.

It is always advisable to discuss the specific needs and circumstances of your shipment with your trading partner and seek professional advice from us to determine the most appropriate Incoterm for your situation.
