🚚 Shared van and groupage: how part loads work

Shared van and groupage: how part loads work

A part load means your goods share van or container space. They go with another shipment on the same route. You pay only for the cubic metres you use. It's the most cost-effective option for studio flats and one-bedroom homes. It also suits anyone sending a smaller volume ahead of a full house move.

Part load removals typically take three to seven days. A dedicated vehicle takes one to two days. The extra time is for consolidation. Your goods are picked up, combined with others at a hub, and shipped together. Your goods are still wrapped and protected throughout.

International Removals Companies is a free matching service run by DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD. We don't carry out removals. We match each enquiry with one FIDI-certified removal company for part load removals to the Netherlands. They call you, assess your volume and give you a quote. Free. No obligation.

📄 Part load and Dutch customs

Dutch customs for part load removals to the Netherlands

Dutch customs apply to part load shipments the same as to full removals. Since January 2021, all goods from the UK need clearance on arrival. The vrijstelling voor verhuisboedel exemption removes duty and 21% BTW on qualifying goods. Your partner mover files the claim through the Dutch Customs AGS system with a signed inboedellijst. You can't self-file.

What you need for part load customs
  • Signed inboedellijst (full inventory of all goods)
  • UK collection address and Netherlands delivery address
  • Gemeente registration proof and BRP
  • BSN (Burgerservicenummer)
The vrijstelling voor verhuisboedel removes import duty and BTW (21%) on goods owned for at least six months, imported within 12 months of moving. Your partner mover files it through the Dutch Customs AGS system. You can't apply yourself.
🚚 Route and crossing options from the UK

Route options from the UK to the Netherlands

💰 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 includes rent, utilities and your Dutch bank account. Sort your currency exchange before you move. It saves money and 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

Shared-load moving: common questions

What is a part load removal to the Netherlands?

A part load means your goods share van or container space. They go with another shipment on the same route. You pay only for the cubic metres you use. It's cheaper than a dedicated vehicle. Transit takes 3 to 7 days instead of 1 to 2 days.

Is a part load cheaper than a full removal to the Netherlands?

Usually yes, if your volume is under about 15 cubic metres. For a studio flat or 1-bedroom home, a part load is the most cost-effective option. For a 3-bedroom house or larger, a dedicated vehicle often costs a similar amount. At that size, you fill most of a van anyway.

How long does a part load removal to the Netherlands take?

Typically 3 to 7 days from collection to delivery. The extra time compared to a dedicated vehicle is for consolidation: your goods are combined with other customers' goods at a hub before being shipped together. Your partner mover confirms the expected transit window at booking.

Can I do a part load removal to any Dutch city?

Yes. Part load services cover all major Dutch cities including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Eindhoven, Maastricht, Leiden and others. Your matched partner mover confirms the schedule and transit time for your specific UK and Dutch postcodes.

Do I pay import duty on a part load removal to the Netherlands?

Not if you qualify for the vrijstelling voor verhuisboedel. This Dutch exemption removes import duty and 21% BTW on goods owned for at least six months. Your partner mover files the claim through the Dutch Customs AGS system. You can't file it yourself.

What is the vrijstelling voor verhuisboedel for part loads?

It applies to part load shipments the same as full removals. It removes import duty and BTW (21%) on goods owned for at least six months. Import within 12 months of moving. Your partner mover files it with a signed inboedellijst through the AGS system.

What is groupage and how does it differ from a part load?

Groupage and part load mean the same thing. Multiple customers' goods go into one vehicle on the same route. The terms are used interchangeably. Both involve sharing space and both take longer than a dedicated vehicle.

What does FIDI FAIM mean for my part load removal?

FIDI FAIM is the top quality standard for removal companies. Ernst and Young audit each firm against more than 200 criteria every three years. We only match part load removal enquiries with FIDI FAIM-accredited movers.

📞 How to get a part load quote

How to get a part load quote for the Netherlands

It's simple. Submit your enquiry and tell us: your UK collection postcode, your Dutch delivery address, a list of what you're moving (a rough volume in cubic metres is fine), and when you want to move. We match you with one FIDI-certified mover. They call you, confirm the exact volume and route, and give you a firm quote. No obligation. No charge for the matching.

Part load dates can be flexible. If your schedule allows a few days' movement, that helps your mover consolidate efficiently. Faster consolidation sometimes means a lower price too. Tell your mover if you have a hard delivery deadline and they'll plan the schedule around it.
