It's cheaper per unit and ensures goods remain untouched until unloading.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Let\u2019s say you're a Netherlands-based electronics retailer sourcing TVs from the UK. Given the bulkiness and high value of these goods, exceeding <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>15 CBM<\/strong><\/span>, you would opt for FCL shipping.

For example, if your cargo amounts to less than <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>13\/14\/15 CBM<\/strong><\/span>, LCL freight would be a smart choice because it's cost-effective and flexible for businesses with lower volume needs.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Imagine you operate a London-based footwear company that needs to deliver 10 CBM of shoes to a retailer in Amsterdam.

However, since your shipment will be consolidated with goods from other businesses, additional handling requirements could lead to extra costs.

It\u2019s simply how much your cargo weighs in its entirety. <strong>Volumetric weight<\/strong>, on the other hand, considers the space that your shipment takes up in the aircraft. It emphasizes the quantity of space your freight occupies rather than the actual weight.<\/p><br><p><strong>For Air Cargo, the volumetric weight is calculated by dividing the package&#8217;s volume (Length x Width x Height in centimeters) by 6000. In Express Air Freight, a standard 5000 divider is used instead. Let&#8217;s illustrate this with an example: if the package measures 100cm length, 50cm width and 50cm height, in Air Cargo, volumetric weight equates to 41.67kg (or 91.93 lbs), while in Express Freight it is 50kg (or 110.23 lbs). If the actual gross weight of the package is 45kg (or 99.21 lbs), it is taken as the chargeable weight since it&#8217;s greater.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Understanding these weight concepts is crucial because they directly affect shipping costs. Freight charges are determined by the higher of the two weights &#8211; volumetric or gross. Notably, this ensures that carriers are compensated for the space your shipment occupies, not just its weight.<\/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\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-64dfc160 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"64dfc160\" data-element_type=\"section\">\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-716fb871\" data-id=\"716fb871\" 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-1282f48d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1282f48d\" 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 loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/gross-weight-image.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2660\" alt=\"\" \/>\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-258d6a01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"258d6a01\" 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 loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/volumetric-weight-image.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2661\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\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-23943e9a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"23943e9a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"rail-freight\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"246\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/rail-freight-banner.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2679\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8034b57c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8034b57c\" 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-f75b92d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f75b92d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h2>Rail freight between UK and Netherlands<\/h2><br><p>All aboard the<a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/rail-freight-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong> freight train<\/strong><\/a> from UK to Netherlands, buzzing faster than a Dutchman&#8217;s bike but slower than a tulip season&#8217;s breeze!

It is faster than sea freight, meaning your goods will arrive quicker, crucial for businesses in a time-sensitive market. Furthermore, it is more cost-effective than air freight, an important factor for budget-conscious companies. Consider, for instance, a business selling perishable goods. Sea freight might take too long, and air freight may not be financially viable. In such a scenario, rail freight becomes an efficient solution, providing a quicker and more economical mode of transport than the alternatives. Your business can achieve a sweet spot of both price and timing, thereby efficiently managing your logistics and giving your venture a competitive edge.<\/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-9f37dccc e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9f37dccc\" 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-df6a0db6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"df6a0db6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<p><h3>How much does shipping goods by train between UK and Netherlands cost?<\/h3><br><\/p><br><p><br>Nailing down an exact cost of shipping goods by train from the UK to the Netherlands can be tricky, just like with air and sea freight.

The first is the primarily used Dover-Calais route, moving north towards Belgium, and reaching the Netherlands via the E40 and A16 motorways. You&#8217;ll pass key cities like Antwerp in Belgium before entering the Netherlands. The other choice is taking the Hull to Rotterdam ferry, severing the need to pass through France and Belgium entirely. It&#8217;s a very direct route, but is dependent on ferry schedules. Weather conditions, traffic, legal driving hours, and vehicle maintenance may influence transit times along these routes.

It is used by customs authorities around the world to identify products when assessing duties and taxes and clearing customs.<\/p><br><p><strong>If you&#8217;re trying to find the HS code of your product, the simplest method can often times be to ask your supplier. Suppliers are usually well-accustomed to the regulations governing their products and should have this information readily available.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>If that&#8217;s not an option, don&#8217;t worry. You can easily find it yourself by following these steps:<\/p><br><p>1. Visit this <a href=\"https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Harmonized Tariff Schedule<\/strong><\/a><br \/><br>2. Input the name of your product into the search bar<br \/><br>3. Check the \u2018Heading\/Subheading\u2019 column for your HS code<\/p><br><p>Please note, accuracy is of utmost importance when determining the HS Code. Incorrect codes can lead to clearance delays or even penalties. Therefore, make sure the HS Code you choose correctly matches your product\u2019s description and specifications.<\/p><br><p>Here&#8217;s an infographic showing you how to read an HS code.<\/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\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ec6f1b4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ec6f1b4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\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-72b98f34\" data-id=\"72b98f34\" 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-68144445 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"68144445\" 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 loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/hs-code-infographic.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2678\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/hs-code-infographic.png 744w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/hs-code-infographic-300x196.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\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<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bddb4713 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bddb4713\" 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-7f1341cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7f1341cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 3 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Value<\/h3><br><p>Grasping the concept of <strong>customs value<\/strong> can initially seem challenging, but it&#8217;s crucial to your business as it determines the level of customs duty you&#8217;ll have to pay. It isn&#8217;t solely about the commercial value or selling price of your goods. Instead, the customs value is the CIF value &#8211; also known as the Cost, Insurance, and Freight.<\/p><br><p>Simply put, this is the price of the goods you&#8217;re shipping, added to the cost of international shipping, along with any insurance you&#8217;re paying. <strong>To illustrate, if you&#8217;re dispatching a product priced at $500, your courier charges are $200, and insurance costs $50, your CIF and thus customs value will be $750<\/strong>. This is the amount that customs duties will be charged upon when your goods reach the Netherlands. By correctly computing this value, you can prevent unpleasant surprises and ensure smoother customs clearance.<\/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-d4e4eb8b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d4e4eb8b\" 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-1e1877f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1e1877f0\" 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<strong> import tariff<\/strong> is a tax imposed by a country&#8217;s government on goods coming from abroad, mainly to generate revenue and protect domestic industries. In the context of shipping goods from UK to the Netherlands, the import tariffs are based on the &#8216;Harmonized System&#8217; (HS code) of tariff nomenclature.<\/p><br><p>Finding the appropriate import tariff for your goods follows a simple process:<\/p><br><p>1. Determine the HS code for your product. Suppose your product is &#8216;Sweaters, pullovers, etc&#8217;, which falls under the HS code 6110.<br \/><br>2. Visit the UK&#8217;s Trade Tariff tool: UK Trade Tariff and input your HS code and the country of origin (UK in this case).<br \/><br>3. The tool will list out the applied duties and taxes, which you can then verify for your product category.<\/p><br><p><strong>Let&#8217;s illustrate with a practical example. Assuming the CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) value of your shipment is $10,000 and the tariff rate provided by the tool is 12%. The import duty would therefore be 12% of $10,000, which equals $1,200.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Remember, understanding and correctly applying import tariffs is crucial. Inaccurate tariff classification can lead to extra costs, delays, and non-compliance penalties. Keep all this in mind as you prepare your goods for shipment.<\/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-01854195 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"01854195\" 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-5dbc5806 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5dbc5806\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 5 &#8211; Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3><br><p>Beyond the standard tariff rate, your imported goods from the UK to the Netherlands may be subject to <strong>additional duties and taxes<\/strong>. The specifics can depend on various factors, including the country of origin and the nature of the product being imported.<\/p><br><p><strong>An example of these costs may be Excise Duty. These apply to goods like alcohol, tobacco, or energy products. Let&#8217;s consider the importation of alcoholic beverages. For hypothetical figures, let&#8217;s assume an excise duty of 20%. This means, you&#8217;ll pay an additional $200 on top of your standard tariff for every $1,000 worth of these goods shipped.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Next, there&#8217;s Anti-dumping Duty. It protects against imports sold at a lower cost than their market value. For instance, if iron goods are being sold at half their market rate, these duties can level the field.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Most importantly, there&#8217;s the Value-Added Tax (VAT). Netherlands VAT, as an example, currently stands at 21%. This means an additional $210 to pay for every $1,000 worth of goods shipped.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Please remember, these figures and percentages are purely hypothetical and use for illustrative purposes only. Actual rates may vary.<\/p><br><p>In conclusion, considering these additional duties can be crucial to avoid surprises and accurately calculate the final costs of your import process. By taking these into account, you can ensure a more efficient and predictable customs clearance process.<\/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-6cff2927 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6cff2927\" 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-37482d37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"37482d37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3><br><p>Calculating <strong>customs duties<\/strong> for your goods imported from the UK to the Netherlands is essential to gaining a precise estimate of your shipping costs. This fee is determined by three key elements: Customs Value (CV), Value Added Tax (VAT), and Anti-dumping Taxes.<\/p><br><p><strong>Let&#8217;s begin with an example where only the CV applies. Consider a load worth $5,000 with a duty rate of 10%. Your customs duty would be $500 ($5,000 x 10%).<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>However, if your shipment also incurs VAT &#8211; this involves a second calculation. Let&#8217;s use a shipment costing $10,000 plus a 10% duty rate and 20% VAT. You&#8217;ll first calculate the import duty ($1,000), add it to the CV for a total of $11,000, then calculate VAT ($11,000 x 20% = $2,200) for a total cost of $13,200.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>In the final example, we add the anti-dumping tax and excise duty to the mix. Your $10,000 shipment carries a 10% duty rate, 20% VAT, a 5% anti-dumping tax, and a $50 excise duty. First, calculate and add the customs duty ($1,000) and anti-dumping tax ($500) to get $11,500. Then add the VAT ($11,500 x 20% = $2,300) and excise duty ($50) to reach a total of $13,850.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Having trouble with these calculations?

If you\u2019ve assembled the goods in the UK using British materials, a UK-based Certificate of Origin will not just guarantee your shipment&#8217;s legitimacy, but can help negotiate lower duty rates, offering a tangible boost to your bottom line.<\/strong> So, don&#8217;t overlook this document \u2013 it&#8217;s a small detail with big implications.<\/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-fb8ac9c1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"fb8ac9c1\" 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-255c7997 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"255c7997\" 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>Shifting gears to the <strong>Certificate of Conformity (CE standard)<\/strong>, it&#8217;s critical for shipping between the UK and Netherlands. Unlike mere quality assurance, the CE mark certifies that products comply with EU safety, health, and environmental protection standards. It&#8217;s similar in intent, but not equivalent, to US standards such as FCC or FDA. Since the UK&#8217;s exit from the EU, the UK uses its own marking, the UKCA, making things slightly trickier. If your goods sport the CE mark, they&#8217;ll sail through Dutch customs but could hit a roadblock on the UK side. To avoid hiccups, consider dual marking products with the UKCA and CE marks. That way, your goods will be welcomed, whether at the Port of Dover or Rotterdam!<\/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-8a85bca7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8a85bca7\" 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-cc1f0f3d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cc1f0f3d\" 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>For all businesses shipping goods from the UK to the Netherlands, acquiring an <strong>EORI Number<\/strong> is a must-have. Why, you ask? This unique identifier is your golden key to the European freight industry, even post-Brexit. Used to track all imports and exports, it&#8217;s a customs officer&#8217;s go-to tool for monitoring goods entering and leaving the EU. Without it, your shipment will hit a roadblock faster than it took to pack it up. Luckily, the registration process is straightforward. Simply apply through your nation&#8217;s tax department. Remember, without this all-important number, your goods are going nowhere.
