Information about PostNL
Do you buy stuff from outside the EU?
In the past, you only paid VAT and other customs clearance costs for a value of 22 euros or more. But now you always pay VAT. Even if the value is less than 22 euros. This has been determined by the EU. In the video we explain exactly how this works.
Customs clearance costs, what are they?
These are costs that you have to deal with if you buy something from a country outside the EU. Think of VAT, handling costs and perhaps also import duties. To determine what you have to pay, we declare your package at customs. We also call this ‘clearance’. Hence the name ‘clearance costs’.

Wondering what exactly you have to pay? That depends on the value of your package and whether you pay online or at the PostNL point.
Sending goods to the United States?
Then you have to prepare and frank your shipment online
International regulations for sending goods have become stricter. That is why the United States (US) will only accept goods from abroad if they know in advance what is in them. They want to receive this data digitally. This means that from now on you have to prepare and frank your package online.
