Export Declarations: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn about the legal documentation required when shipping goods from the Netherlands to customers outside of the EU.
Export Declarations are the process used to obtain the legal documentation required when you ship goods from the Netherlands to destinations outside of the European Union.
Who it's for
This is for sellers who are shipping products to customers located outside of the EU. If your business involves sending items beyond the European Union borders, you are required to use this process.
What you get
Through this process, you receive the legal export documentation needed to confirm that your goods are being shipped officially. This documentation is the standard requirement for moving goods out of the EU.
What it costs you
To complete this process, you must have an EORI number. This identification number is a requirement for those engaging in the export process.
The catch to know
The most common mistake is assuming that small shipments are exempt from these rules. You still need to have an EORI number even if you are only sending small shipments outside of the EU.
How to apply
- Ensure you have an EORI number for your business.
- Prepare your shipment details for export.
- Follow the official procedures to secure your documentation.
