UK–Netherlands Customs Clearance and Freight
The Netherlands is one of the busiest trade links with the UK, with Rotterdam and the Hook of Holland handling a large share of the freight crossing the North Sea. Goods going there need a GB export declaration and a Dutch import declaration with import VAT and any duty dealt with correctly; goods coming back need a Dutch export declaration and a UK import entry.
GEIM prepares the declarations on both sides, raises transit documents and the GMR where the route needs them, and arranges road freight for full loads, part loads and groupage. Dutch-speaking staff are available for importers, exporters and drivers.
Typical routes run via Harwich–Hook of Holland or the Channel crossings and onward by road.
