Exporting to the United Kingdom

Post-Brexit, the UK is a fully-fledged third country โ€” which means exports from the Netherlands to the UK now require export declarations, a commercial invoice, packing list, and in many cases a Certificate of Origin. For goods with Dutch or EU origin, an EUR.1 or origin statement is required to benefit from the zero tariff under the TCA (Trade and Cooperation Agreement).

Practical Considerations

  • UK importer must be registered with HMRC with an EORI number
  • Pharmaceuticals and medical devices require MHRA approval for the UK market
  • Food safety: DEFRA regulations for food products are strict
  • Flight time AMSโ€“LHR approximately 1.5 hours โ€” same-day possible with morning departure
