🚚 Business removals and corporate relocation to the Netherlands

Business removals and corporate relocation to the Netherlands

Business removals to the Netherlands cover two types of move. The first is relocating an employee with household goods. The second is moving office furniture, equipment or an entire business operation. Both types have different planning requirements. Both need a FIDI-certified removal company. They must know Dutch customs and corporate relocation procedures. A good partner mover will have handled both types before.

The Netherlands is a major European business hub. It's one of the top places for UK company moves. Many come here each year. Amsterdam hosts hundreds of international HQs. Rotterdam is the main port for European trade. The Hague is home to the ICC, ICJ, OPCW and diplomatic missions. Eindhoven is the heart of Brainport, home to ASML and Philips. Your partner mover knows each city's access and customs rules.

International Removals Companies is a free matching service run by DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD. We don't carry out removals. We find the right mover for you. We match each business move enquiry with one FIDI-certified removal company Netherlands. They call you. They survey the move. They give you a quote. It's free. No obligation.

Corporate relocation Netherlands: key cities

The city you're relocating to determines the access requirements, customs complexity and typical timeline for your business removal.

📄 Dutch customs for business and corporate relocations

Dutch customs for business removals to the Netherlands

Since January 2021, the UK is outside the EU. All household goods and office equipment from the UK need Dutch customs clearance. For employees relocating with household goods, the vrijstelling voor verhuisboedel exemption removes import duty and 21% BTW on qualifying items. For office equipment and commercial goods, different rules apply. Your partner mover advises on the correct procedure for your specific situation.

Employee household goods customs
  • Signed inboedellijst (inventory) for all household items
  • Proof goods owned for at least six months
  • BSN (Burgerservicenummer), Gemeente registration and BRP proof
  • Netherlands employer letter if required; BRP registration proof
  • AGS filing by your partner mover (you can't self-file)
The vrijstelling voor verhuisboedel removes import duty and BTW (21%) on household goods owned for at least six months, imported within 12 months of taking up residence. Your partner mover files it through the Dutch Customs AGS system. You can't apply yourself.

💰 Currency exchange: GBP to EUR

Currency exchange: converting pounds to euros

The Netherlands uses the euro. The currency code is EUR. Once you arrive, most costs will be in euros. That means rent, bills and food. Sort your exchange early. It saves money. It saves stress.

What you'll need euros for on arrival
  • Rental deposit (typically one to three months 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. Confirm rates with your bank before committing funds.
Common questions

Corporate relocation to the Netherlands: common questions

How do I organise a corporate relocation to the Netherlands?

Start by matching your enquiry with a FIDI-certified removal company through International Removals Companies. They handle the survey, route planning, Dutch customs (vrijstelling voor verhuisboedel filing, AGS declaration) and delivery to your Dutch address. They can also advise on the 30% ruling if your employer requires it for your relocation package.

What is the 30% ruling and does it affect a Netherlands relocation?

The 30% ruling is a Dutch tax benefit for skilled migrants. If eligible, 30% of the salary is paid tax-free. It doesn't affect the removal cost. It affects the pay package. HR usually deals with it. Your removal company doesn't handle the 30% ruling. But they can advise on what documents they need to work with it.

Which Dutch cities are best for business relocations?

Amsterdam has the highest concentration of international headquarters and tech companies. Eindhoven is the centre of the Brainport technology corridor with ASML and Philips. The Hague houses international institutions and diplomatic missions. Rotterdam is the gateway for European logistics. Utrecht has a strong university and life-sciences sector. Amstelveen is the expat suburb for Amsterdam with KLM and international schools.

Do I pay import duty on business removals to the Netherlands?

For employee household goods, the vrijstelling voor verhuisboedel exemption removes import duty and 21% BTW on qualifying items. For commercial office equipment and business goods, different customs rules apply. Your FIDI-certified partner mover advises on the correct procedure for each type of goods in your business removal.

How long does a business removal to the Netherlands take?

A dedicated vehicle removal from the UK to the Netherlands takes 1 to 2 days once loaded. Partial office removals using a shared service take 3 to 7 days. Large office relocations are planned in detail with your partner mover to minimise downtime.

What is the vrijstelling voor verhuisboedel for corporate relocations?

It's the Dutch transfer-of-residence exemption. It removes import duty and BTW (21%) on household goods owned for at least six months. The employee must import everything within 12 months of taking up residence. Your partner mover files the claim through the Dutch Customs AGS system with a signed inboedellijst. The employee can't apply themselves.

Can I move office equipment to the Netherlands from the UK?

Yes. Commercial office equipment is handled separately from household goods at customs. Your FIDI-certified partner mover advises on the correct classification and procedure for office equipment, IT hardware and business assets. Different rules apply compared to personal household goods.

What does FIDI FAIM mean for corporate relocations to the Netherlands?

FIDI FAIM is the top quality standard for removal companies. Ernst and Young audit each firm against more than 200 criteria every three years. For corporate relocations, the mover needs documented Dutch customs procedures. They also need experience with company relocation packages and employee moves to major Dutch cities.
