📄 Dutch customs for removals to Amstelveen

Dutch customs for removals to Amstelveen

Since January 2021, the UK is outside the EU. Your goods need Dutch customs clearance. This applies to all removals to Amstelveen from UK. There is a transfer-of-residence exemption. It removes the duty for people moving home for good.

What you need for Dutch customs
  • Signed inboedellijst (packing inventory) for all goods
  • UK collection address and full Amstelveen delivery address
  • Proof of Gemeente registration in the BRP
  • BSN (Burgerservicenummer, Dutch citizen service number)
  • Separate declaration for any vehicle being imported
The vrijstelling voor verhuisboedel removes import duty and BTW (Dutch VAT at 21%) on goods owned and used for at least six months, imported within 12 months of taking up residence. Your partner mover files the claim through the Dutch Customs AGS system with a signed inboedellijst. You can't self-file. Full guidance at douane.nl.
💰 Currency exchange: GBP to EUR for your Amstelveen move

Currency exchange: converting pounds to euros

Amstelveen uses the euro. The currency is EUR. Once you arrive, most costs will be in euros. That means rent, bills and food. Your Dutch bank account will be in euros too. Sort your exchange early. It saves money and stress. It matters most if you have a rental deposit to pay.

What you'll need euros for on arrival
  • Rental deposit (typically one to three months' rent in advance)
  • First month's rent before UK income transfers
  • Opening a Dutch bank account
  • Registration fee at the Gemeente
  • Day-to-day costs in your first weeks
Tips on exchanging GBP to EUR
  • Avoid exchanging at the ferry terminal or airport. Rates are poor.
  • Online services like Wise or XE offer better rates than banks.
  • Set up a euro account or multi-currency card before you travel.
  • Check the live GBP/EUR rate at XE.com before committing.
  • For large sums like a deposit, compare specialist FX providers.
Note: The GBP/EUR rate changes daily. International Removals Companies does not offer currency exchange. This guidance is for general information only. Confirm rates with your bank before committing funds.
