Shipping pallets to the Netherlands (also known as Holland) is a frequent requirement for many UK businesses. At Pallet2Ship, we aim to make this process as straightforward as possible. To help you navigate your pallet delivery needs to this key European destination, we have compiled some common questions.
What documents are required to ship a pallet to the Netherlands?
When shipping your consignment to the Netherlands, comprehensive and accurate documentation is essential for smooth customs clearance. You will need a commercial invoice, which must contain crucial information such as your EORI number, the correct Harmonised System (HS) codes for your goods, and the agreed-upon Incoterms.
For those shipping personal effects rather than commercial goods, a proforma invoice (which Pallet2Ship supplies) and a detailed packing list will be required. It is essential to attach a minimum of four copies of the invoice securely to your pallet.
Please note that, depending on the specific nature of your goods and any evolving regulations, additional documentation may be required. For the most up-to-date and specific guidance, we recommend checking the Q&A section on our dedicated Netherlands pallet delivery page or contacting our team.
How is my consignment adequately packed for shipping?
Proper packing is fundamental to ensuring your pallet arrives safely and undamaged. If you're new to sending pallets or simply unsure about your packing methods, we're here to help. You can take a few pictures of your consignment and send them to us. Our experienced team can then review them and guide you through the packing process.
A well-packed consignment significantly minimises the risk of damage during transit, safeguarding your goods and providing you with peace of mind. Click here for a guide on how to prepare a pallet properly.
