DDP TO NETHERLANDS
DDP Shipping from China to Netherlands
Rotterdam is Europe’s largest port. We handle EU customs, VAT, and final delivery across the Netherlands and into the rest of the EU.
WHY NETHERLANDS
Shipping to Netherlands is where imports go wrong
DDP means we own the hard part. Here is what we handle before your goods move.
What importers to Netherlands run into
Most delays and extra costs on the China to Netherlands lane come from paperwork and compliance, not the freight itself. We front-load that work so the shipment does not stop at the border.
- EU customs wants an EORI number and correct commodity codes or goods sit at Rotterdam.
- Dutch VAT at 21% applies unless you use deferred accounting or a fiscal representative.
- Inland distribution to Germany or France needs one coordinated handoff, not three vendors.
- A wrong HS code triggers a fine and a duty re-assessment after the fact.

FAQ
Netherlands DDP questions
What is fiscal representation in the Netherlands?
A Dutch fiscal representative lets a non-EU seller import and account for VAT without registering a local entity. We arrange it under DDP so VAT is handled, not blocked.
Do I need an EORI number?
Yes for any EU import. Under our DDP service we file using our own credential, so you do not need to obtain one.
Is VAT included in DDP?
VAT is handled as part of the DDP process, typically deferred or via fiscal representation, so it is not a separate cash hit at the border.
How long does sea DDP to Rotterdam take?
About 28-35 days from China port to your door, clearance included.
Can you deliver to Germany from the Netherlands?
Yes. Rotterdam is the EU entry point, and we handle onward delivery to Germany and the rest of the EU.
What documents do I provide?
Your PO and packing list. We file the EU entry and manage VAT handling.
