Dear readers,

A lot of information is available at the tax authorities – and in general on the internet – about import duties for an international move. Under certain conditions, those charges are 0,00. Those conditions include the presence of various forms, but also sending within a year after moving.

Because I still have a house in the Netherlands (it is for sale, but the sale is not getting along yet) I am considering leaving some of the stuff there until the house is sold. That is not only useful when we are there ourselves, but also seems to be better for sales.

What I cannot find anywhere, however, is whether it is possible to send the items in multiple shipments without import duties. For example, how is that recorded if you have two valuable stereo sets and want to send 1 now and 1 later, does anyone have experience with this?

Regards,

Peter

    This also depends on the transporter doing the move: I hired Windmill Forwarding from The Hague a few years ago and got a guaranteed door-to-door rate Amsterdam – Phuket from them. A very reasonable rate, excellent guidance and 0,00 baht / euro import duties; neat.

      We also used Windmill Forwarding from The Hague in 2014 to ship our stuff to Thailand. We can only say a class company with very good service, excellent guidance and 0,00 baht / euro import duties. Everything was neatly delivered to us at the agreed time. Of course you can get a little creative with names.

    Keep in mind that you can only enter 1 of all items at 0.0 % rate. The 2nd stereo set will therefore be taxed. Whether you do this in a one-off shipment or spread over a longer period of time does not matter. You can be creative with the names of the goods. For example, 1 TV and the 2nd you call a surveillance monitor, the 3rd TV you call a game system etc etc.

    I assume you mean that you want to move an estate from NL to TH. Then you could have a look here:
