Frequently asked questions

About customs.

Do you handle customs if I only book transport?

Yes. For every air, sea or road shipment with E-Freight Forwarding we handle customs. You don't need to bring in a separate party.

What is an EORI number?

A registration number every business needs to move goods into or out of the EU. In the Netherlands you apply for it with Dutch Customs. Don't have one yet? We'll help you get started.

How long does customs clearance take?

With complete paperwork it's usually quick. That's why we check your documents before your shipment arrives.

What does importing cost?

That depends on your product and its origin: import duties and VAT vary by type of goods. We include an estimate in your quote.
