Since January 2021, the UK is outside the EU. Your goods need Dutch customs clearance when they arrive. The vrijstelling voor verhuisboedel exemption removes import duty and 21% BTW on goods owned for at least six months. You must import everything within twelve months of taking up Dutch residence. Your partner mover files the claim through the Dutch Customs AGS system with a signed inboedellijst. You can't self-file.
The Netherlands uses the euro. The currency code is EUR. Once you arrive, most costs will be in euros: rent, bills and food. Sort your exchange early. It saves money and it saves stress. Don't exchange at the airport or ferry terminal. Rates are poor. Online services like Wise or XE offer better rates than banks. Set up a euro account before you travel. Check the live GBP/EUR rate at XE.com before you commit. The rate changes daily. International Removals Companies does not offer currency exchange.
