The Netherlands Customs Administration says the declaration process for e-commerce goods will change from 1 November 2026. Declarants will pay a European handling fee of €2 for each product category.
The fee applies to all e-commerce shipments, including those valued above €150. The revenue will fund additional checks on e-commerce goods, including reviews of declaration data and parcels.
The handling fee will be charged on top of the €3 import tariff that has applied since 1 July 2026 to e-commerce shipments valued at up to €150.
