Oceans, continents, and borders play a big part in selecting the right shipping method. Imagine choosing a path for a marathon - you'd consider distance, terrain, and your own strengths.\nSimilarly, the distance across the Atlantic, restrictive international borders, and your unique shipping needs are key aspects to consider. Amidst these elements, sea and air freight emerge as winners. The right choice? That depends on your cargo's nature and urgency. It's a carefully planned logistics symphony!<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2cac8efd link-list-item-destination elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-link-list-widget\" data-id=\"2cac8efd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-link-list-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n        <div class=\"link-list-item text-center\">\r\n            <ul class=\"m-0 p-0\">\r\n                <li>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#main-shipping\">\r\n                            Sea Freight                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#air-freight\">\r\n                            Air Freight                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#road-freight\">\r\n                            Road Freight                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#door-to-door\">\r\n                            Door-to-Door                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <a href=\"#customer-clear\">\r\n                            Customs                        <\/a>\r\n                                    <\/li>\r\n            <\/ul>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        \r\n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-237d0d28 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"237d0d28\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-65d83810 sidebar-sticky elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"65d83810\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54029a73 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-table-of-content-widget\" data-id=\"54029a73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-table-of-content-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n        <div class=\"table-of-content-list-item\">\r\n            <div class=\"title d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center\">\r\n                Table of Contents                <label class=\"docshipper switch\">\r\n                    <input type=\"checkbox\" checked>\r\n                    <span class=\"slider round\"><\/span>\r\n                <\/label>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <!-- TOC -->\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"toc-container\">\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"note-content\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/docshipper.us\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/docshipper\/assets\/img\/cta.png')\">\r\n            <p class=\"text-white\">Need help with your shipment?<\/p>\r\n            <p class=\"text-white\">Need assistance with your shipment?

This ensures safety as your goods remain sealed in an FCL container from the time it leaves the distributor to its arrival at the destination.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use: <\/strong>Opt for FCL shipping when your cargo volume exceeds 13, 14, or 15 cubic meters (CBM). It's ideal since it's cheaper for high-volume shipments due to economies of scale. For instance, a typical 20'ft FCL container or a 40'ft container can hold approximately 28-30 CBM or 58-68 CBM respectively.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example: <\/strong>Assume a company in the U.S shipping 20 CBM of manufacturing equipment to the Netherlands. In this case, FCL shipping will be the most cost-effective and secure choice, given the volume and value of the equipment.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications: <\/strong>Although FCL shipping quotes may initially appear higher than LCL (Less Container Load), the cost per unit becomes cheaper as the volume of your shipment increases. That's because the cost of an FCL container is fixed, regardless of whether it's full or not. Therefore, the more goods you ship, the more you can save on per-unit costs.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-57ceaede\" data-id=\"57ceaede\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66eeb2d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"66eeb2d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/LCL-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"Less than Container Load\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb0e1d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"fb0e1d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <h4 class=\"sec-title style2\">Less container load (LCL)<\/h4>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\"><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition: <\/strong>Less than Container Load (LCL) shipping, also known as groupage, refers to a freight forwarding method where several shippers share the same container space for shipping smaller amounts of goods.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use: <\/strong>LCL is an ideal option when your cargo volume is less than 13 to 15 cubic meters (CBM). This alternative is notably cost-efficient and flexible for low-volume shipments, as it negates the need to pay for a full container.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example: <\/strong>For instance, let's assume you're a furniture dealer who needs to ship 20 armchairs from Boston to Rotterdam. Each chair is 1 CBM, totaling 20 CBM. However, a full 20-foot container accommodates about 60 CBM. In this context, opting for LCL shipment can save significant costs as you only pay for the space you use, in this case, 20 CBM.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications: <\/strong>When sending an LCL freight, you only pay for the exact volume or weight of your cargo that occupies the container, making it a cost-effective solution for smaller shipments. However, keep in mind, while cost per unit is generally lower than Full Container Load (FCL), it can potentially increase with larger volumes due to the extra handling required.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b4ed788 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b4ed788\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-62d01f24\" data-id=\"62d01f24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-789c7bea elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"789c7bea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <p class=\"sec-title style2\">Hassle-free shipping<\/p>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\">Looking to transport goods between the US and the Netherlands hassle-free?

In contrast, volumetric weight, often also called dimensional weight, is a value derived from the spatial dimensions of your shipment rather than the physical weight.<\/p><br><p>When it comes to Air cargo, to compute the volumetric weight, simply multiply the length, width, and height of your package in centimeters and then divide by a standard divisor, which is commonly 6000. <strong>For example, for a parcel measuring 50 cm x 40 cm x 30 cm, the volumetric weight would be 50 x 40 x 30 \/ 6000, which equals 10 kg (or about 22 lbs).<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>On the Express Air Freight side, the calculation is fairly similar, but the standard divisor varies &#8211; often being 5000 instead.

It is used by customs authorities around the world to identify products when assessing duties and taxes and for gathering statistics. Knowing your product&#8217;s HS code is essential for smooth customs operations.<\/p><br><p><strong>If you&#8217;re wondering how to find the HS code, your first port of call should be your supplier. They often familiarize themselves with the products they&#8217;re importing and the associated regulations, and are likely to know the relevant HS code.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>However, if you can&#8217;t obtain the HS code from your supplier, don&#8217;t worry, you can find it on your own. The following steps will guide you:<\/p><br><p>1. Visit the website of the <a href=\"https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harmonized Tariff Schedule<\/a>.<br \/><br>2. Type your product&#8217;s name into the search bar.<br \/><br>3. In the search results, check the Heading\/Subheading column to find your product&#8217;s HS code.<\/p><br><p>It&#8217;s important to note that accuracy is essential when selecting an HS code. Incorrect classification can result in significant delays and could potentially result in fines, so make sure you verify the code before using it.<\/p><br><p>To wrap it up, HS codes might seem complex but are actually quite simple to interpret once you know how.

The customs value, or the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value, is the sum of these, which equals <strong>$1250<\/strong>. Remember, all costs should be in USD for this calculation. This figure is used to assess customs duties, making it a crucial step in your shipping journey from the US to the Netherlands.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-acd6856a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"acd6856a\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a2817e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1a2817e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 4 &#8211; Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3><br><p>An import tariff is a tax imposed by one country on the goods and services imported from another country. In the Netherlands, which is part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/taxation_customs\/dds2\/taric\/taric_consultation.jsp?Lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">European Union, the TARIC System<\/a> (Integrated Tariff of the European Union) is used to determine these tariffs.<\/p><br><p>To discover the applicable tariff for your product, use the TARIC Consultation Tool provided by the EU. Start by entering the Harmonized System (HS) code identified previously and specify the United States as the country of origin. This will reveal the duty rates and taxes applicable to your product.<\/p><br><p>Let&#8217;s take an example to make it clearer. Assuming you&#8217;re importing wooden furniture (HS code 9403.60.00) from the US to the Netherlands. When you enter these details in the TARIC system, it might show a Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) tariff of 2.7%. Further, suppose your Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF) value is USD 10000. The import duties you would need to pay would be 2.7% of USD 10000, resulting in USD 270.<\/p><br><p>Remember, knowing the applicable tariff helps in planning your costs effectively while complying with the import regulations. Understanding and applying this information to your individual business circumstances is crucial to smooth international shipping operations.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32376e54 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"32376e54\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9fbc9707 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9fbc9707\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<p><h3>Step 5 &#8211; Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3><br><\/p><p><br>In addition to the standard tariff, importing goods into the Netherlands might subject you to other charges based on the product&#8217;s nature and country of origin. Let&#8217;s run through some examples to clarify this (keep in mind these are only examples, actual rates may vary).<\/p><br><p>You could be liable for excise duty on specific categories like alcohol or tobacco products. Also, anti-dumping taxes might apply if the goods are sold below their market value in the Netherlands, potentially harming local businesses. For instance, if you&#8217;re importing steel from the US, anti-dumping duties might apply to prevent underpricing.<\/p><br><p>But the most important one you should be aware of is Value Added Tax (VAT). In the Netherlands, the standard VAT rate is 21%. So, if the cumulative value of your goods plus shipping and insurance costs $1000, you would pay an additional $210 as VAT. <\/p><br><p>Understanding these additional duties and taxes helps you estimate the total cost of importing goods accurately, making it a smoother, more predictable process for your business. Remember, these stances are country and product specific, hence ensure to verify the applicable duties for your particular situation.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d43055b4 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d43055b4\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4fd4d6c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4fd4d6c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<p><h3>Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3><br><\/p><p><br>In calculating customs duties for your imports from the US to the Netherlands, pinpoint accuracy is key. To do this, several elements are taken into account, primarily the Customs Value, VAT, and any applicable Anti-dumping taxes or Excise Duty.<\/p><br><p>First, let&#8217;s simplify customs duty calculation. Imagine you&#8217;re importing a product valued at $60,000 with a Customs Tariff rate of 4%. Here, the Customs Duty is simply 4% of $60,000, making it $2,400.<\/p><br><p>Next, take a situation where you have to handle Customs Duty plus VAT. Suppose the imported item&#8217;s value is $30,000 with a 6% Customs Tariff rate and a VAT rate of 21%. First, calculate the Customs Duty, which here is $1,800 (6% of $30,000), then VAT is charged on (Customs Value + Customs Duty), so it&#8217;s 21% of ($30,000 + $1,800) equating to $6,678.<\/p><br><p>Finally, consider a complex scenario with Customs Duty, VAT, Anti-dumping Tax, and Excise Duty. Let&#8217;s say you imported goods valued at $40,000 with parameters as: Customs Tariff 3%, VAT 21%, Anti-dumping tax 10%, and an Excise Duty of $700. Here, you calculate each based on the customs value and sum them all up.  So, the total Customs cost would be $6,300 + $700 = $7,000. <\/p><br><p>It might look formidable, but with DocShipper&#8217;s comprehensive customs clearance services, you&#8217;ll never have to worry about a thing!

This acts as a &#8216;receipt&#8217; of sorts, signifying the ownership transfer of your cargo. Here&#8217;s the big deal: it&#8217;s proof that your carrier has received your goods and is contract-bound for delivery. Gone are the days of paper-based procedures; enter telex (or electronic) release, saving you time and headaches with a digital BOL.<\/p><br><p>Air freight? You&#8217;ll use an Air Waybill (AWB), accomplishing essentially the same purpose in the clouds. Always ensure these documents are accurate and readily available &#8211; lost cargo, delayed shipments, and extra costs are all potential consequences of a mishandled BOL or AWB.

It lays out information like the nature, quantity, and weight of your goods. As a shipper, it&#8217;s your responsibility to ensure its accuracy. Missteps can lead to costly delays or even rejections at Dutch customs. Consider the package of designer shoes you&#8217;re sending; customs officers rely on your Packing List for assessing duties and verifying shipment contents.<\/p><br><p>Mislabeling could result in your luxury footwear being classified under athletic shoes, attracting incorrect, potentially higher duties. So, whether you&#8217;re shipping vintage parts by sea or tulip bulbs by air, remember: a diligently prepared Packing List will smooth the path of your goods through customs. After all, precision is key in international trade.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8dbbf57e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8dbbf57e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0cf80e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c0cf80e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h4>Commercial Invoice<\/h4><br><p>One document you&#8217;ll need to ship goods from the US to the Netherlands is the Commercial Invoice. This provides vital info about your shipment: product description, value, shipper and receiver details, and HS codes. It&#8217;s a linchpin for customs clearance- an incorrect or incomplete invoice can lead to delays or additional charges.<\/p><br><p>So, for instance, if you&#8217;re exporting mechanical parts worth $5,000, be precise in your description and valuation. Double-check details for consistency across other documents, such as the Bill of Lading. Remember, correct documentation upfront saves hassle down the line. Get it right, and you&#8217;ll pave the way for a smooth, hiccup-free shipment. Think of your Commercial Invoice as the torch-bearing front runner of your trans-Atlantic commerce.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d90188aa e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d90188aa\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40b911d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40b911d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h4>Certificate of Origin<\/h4><br><p>In your shipping journey from the US to the Netherlands, the Certificate of Origin (CoO) plays a vital role. Imagine it as the ID card that authenticates your goods\u2014it identifies the products and states where they&#8217;re manufactured. This tiny document can unlock preferential customs duty rates, saving you money in the process.<\/p><br><p>For example, if you&#8217;re shipping artisanal cheese from Wisconsin, specifying United States as the country of manufacture in your CoO can result in reduced tariffs. Sorting through the complexities of customs and duties becomes a touch smoother with your CoO in hand. So, don&#8217;t forget to include it in your documentation stack\u2014it&#8217;s not just paper, it&#8217;s savings and smoother clearances.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d964618 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1d964618\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f134826 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9f134826\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h4>Certificate of Conformity (CE standard)<\/h4><br><p>When shipping goods from the US to the Netherlands, your goods will need to meet certain European standards. One key document required for customs clearance is the Certificate of Conformity (CE standard). This mark signifies that your product meets the European Union&#8217;s health, safety, and environmental standards. Unlike quality assurance which is a process, the CE marking is a regulatory standard.<\/p><br><p>It&#8217;s akin to the FCC Declaration of Conformity in the US, but isn&#8217;t synonymous. Here&#8217;s a tip: before shipping, ensure your goods are compliant. If you\u2019re uncertain, consider seeking the advice of a technical expert or a notified body. By doing so, you\u2019ll be able to avoid potential hold-ups at customs and ensure a timely delivery for your goods in the Netherlands.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7027f69 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d7027f69\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08cb6ae0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"08cb6ae0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h4>Your EORI number (Economic Operator Registration Identification)<\/h4><br><p>When shipping goods from the US to the Netherlands, an EORI Number isn&#8217;t just good to have\u2014it&#8217;s essential.

Ever since, both countries have been great allies, fostering a robust trade and economic relationship. A vital milestone was the establishment of the U.S.-Netherlands double taxation treaty in 1948, promoting fiscal transparency between both nations. Predominant sectors involve technology, chemical manufacturing, and agriculture, with essential commodities such as machinery, pharmaceuticals, and organic chemicals dominating the trade scene.<\/p><br><p>According to the latest data, the US invested $885 billion in the Netherlands, while Dutch investments stood at $305.6 billion in the US.

Unlike fire insurance that protects from a specific risk, it shields your goods from a broader range of mishaps during transit (example: damage, theft, or loss). The difference? It's about prevention. Let's say you're shipping technology equipment; freight insurance ensures that even if something occurs during the journey, you're covered.
