Why European Importers Struggle with China Shipments
These problems drain your cash flow and slow your business growth. Sound familiar?
21% VAT Paid Upfront
Traditional imports require full VAT payment at customs before goods release. That’s €21,000 locked up on every €100,000 shipment.
Months to Reclaim VAT
Filing VAT returns, waiting for tax authority processing, dealing with rejections. Your capital is frozen for 3-6 months minimum.
Complex Customs Paperwork
EU import regulations, HS codes, origin certificates, compliance checks. One mistake means delays and penalties.
No Fiscal Representation
Without a licensed fiscal representative in Netherlands, you can’t access VAT deferral. Most freight forwarders don’t offer this.
What Is Netherlands VAT Deferral?
Under Dutch Article 23 license, you can import goods into the EU through Netherlands without paying import VAT at customs. Instead, VAT is reported and offset in the same periodic return — zero net cash impact.

Hear From Importers Who Switched to VAT Deferral
Real businesses, real cash flow improvements, real partnerships.
Marcus van der Berg
Electronics Importer • Netherlands
“Switching to VAT deferral freed up €180,000 annually that was previously locked in customs deposits. That capital now funds two additional product lines. The ROI was immediate.”
Sophie Müller
Fashion Distributor • Germany
“We import through Rotterdam and distribute to Germany, France, and Austria. One customs clearance, zero upfront VAT, seamless intra-EU logistics. This is how modern importing should work.”
Pierre Dubois
Home Goods Wholesaler • France
“Their customs team caught a classification error that would have cost us 8% extra duty. The expertise they bring to the table pays for itself many times over. Highly recommended.”
