What changes did Brexit make to moving household goods to The Netherlands?

Since the UK left the EU after Brexit there have been changes to the Customs Clearance process for moves into The Netherlands. Your move manager will guide you through the process to help you prepare. 

It is more important than ever to use a qualified and professional European Removals Company when moving from the UK to the Netherlands.

The documentation, processes and customs requirements are no longer straightforward, so your removal company needs to have implemented the correct procedures to ensure everything runs smoothly and you are not faced with additional charges if these have not been followed.

How long do removals from the UK to the Netherlands take?

This depends on the method of transport. Dedicated vehicle services will pack up at your origin property and then travel directly to your destination home as soon as they receive the green light from customs to travel. Depending on where you are headed this can be as little as a couple of days.

For shared services this can take a little longer as we need to collect and load all the shipments at our warehouse before starting the trip to The Netherlands, but we will let you know what to expect up front.

What qualifications do Bournes have for moving me to The Netherlands?

Anyone can make a fancy website and pay to get it ranking highly in your search engine, but how do you know you’ve found a reputable company? Quality accreditations and membership of professional associations are a great way to assess the standard of service you can expect from professional moving companies. Typically an expert external assessor will pre-vet the company for you with strict, regular external audits.

Bournes are proud to be members of the top professional industry bodies to demonstrate our commitment to quality.

Customs Process for International Removals to The Netherlands

Since the UK left the EU we no longer have 'free movement of goods' between the UK and The Netherlands. This means the import of your household goods (furniture and personal effects) are subject to import and export rules and procedures. 

Your Bournes Move Consultant and Move Manager will guide you through this process, but here's a little of what to expect to help you start planning.  

Your belongings will need to clear customs to exit the UK and again in the Netherlands to enter and be approved for duty-free import. For this to happen you will need to provide some customs documents, which will depend on your status. 

We will advise you on this during your move consultation or you can check out the FIDI Customs Guide for the Netherlands.
