Dutch compliance is tightly aligned with the European Union Customs Code. High-tech imports and exports must meet accurate classification requirements; correct HS codes; CE conformity; VAT and duty obligations; product safety standards; and proof of origin for preferential duty treatment.

IT and telecom equipment entering the Netherlands must fully comply with CE marking requirements; the Radio Equipment Directive for wireless and IoT devices; safety and EMC standards; and accurate EU technical documentation. Dutch customs use highly automated processing; therefore, shipment data must be precise to support immediate release.
Aerospace and defence shipments must comply with the EU Dual-Use Regulation; Dutch Strategic Goods requirements; and licensing rules issued by the Central Import and Export Office, also known as the CDIU. Some items require validated end-user statements or additional export permits. Aerospace parts may also need EASA associated documentation.
