Purchasing goods
from the Netherlands
We help buy selected goods from a seller in the Netherlands. For flowers and food, we account for timing and storage; for equipment and materials, we clarify the specification. Purchase and delivery terms are agreed for the order.
You choose the product; we manage the transaction with the seller
Purchasing works for a single item, a sample or a business batch when you need a clear process for buying from an overseas seller. You do not need to gather every document in advance: start with a link or product description.
A standard purchase includes one seller, up to 10 agreed items and one planned shipment. For a different scope, we agree the work, full price and timeframe in advance.
Review the order before payment
We clarify the product, availability, seller terms, invoice and whether the purchase can be delivered to the chosen address. If the scenario does not work, we tell you before payment.
Agree the invoice and payment
We agree the invoice and payment to the seller, stay in contact about the order and provide status updates. In a standard purchase, payment of the same invoice is already included in the fee.
You choose the product and budget
You choose the model, quantity and purchasing terms and set the budget. Before payment, we show the estimate and agree what OZTA will handle.
Agree additional work in advance
If you need supplier sourcing, quality checks, samples, transport, storage or clearance, we first agree the work, price and terms.
Where to find goods in the Netherlands

We check the platform link, supplier contact or specification; availability, documents and route depend on the specific item.
- Food and dairy products: composition, batch, shelf life, temperature requirements and documents are needed

What to send for an estimate
Flowers, bulbs, food, dairy products, chemicals, medical and industrial equipment, components, timber, batteries, branded goods and fragile goods require separate checks of applicability, origin, documents, transit and transport.
- Bol.com/Amazon.nl link, contact or supplier
- Model/product code, material, composition, serial number and batch, condition, origin
- Quantity, weight, budget, consignment or sample
- Country, city, recipient type, end user and intended use
All data for calculation
- Photos/videos, sample, quality control, expiry date or temperature, labelling and packaging, if already known
- Invoice, transport, sanitary, phytosanitary, SDS and permit documents as required
- Food, dairy products, flowers, plants, chemicals, high-tech products, medical goods, batteries, timber, branded goods and fragile goods
How to calculate the purchase-on-behalf fee
We use the agreed goods price from the seller and apply the rate from the table. Delivery is not part of the fee calculation.
Rate by product price
Minimum OZTA purchasing fee: $20
- Less than $1,000
- 10%
- From $1,000, but less than $5,000
- 9%
- From $5,000, but less than $10,000
- 8%
- From $10,000, but less than $20,000
- 7%
- From $20,000
- 6%
The minimum OZTA purchasing fee is $20. For example: goods at $50 + fee of $20 = $70, excluding delivery, import costs, insurance and bank costs.
Fee calculation example
- Seller's goods price
- $2 000
- OZTA fee
- $180
- $2 000 × 9% = $180
- Goods + fee
- $2 180
This covers only the goods and fee. Seller delivery and onward freight, import charges, insurance, banking and foreign-exchange costs are separate.
What the fee includes
- One seller, up to 10 agreed items and one planned shipment.
- Checking company and payment details and purchasing terms, and agreeing the seller’s invoice.
- Payment of the seller’s invoice is already included in the fee; we do not charge a second percentage for it.
- Seller communication, order statuses and OZTA report.
What is paid separately
- Seller delivery to our warehouse and onward transport.
- Import charges, insurance and warehouse operations, when needed.
- Bank and foreign-exchange costs, and any additional work after agreement.
If additional contractor work is needed
For additional work: the provider’s price + 10% for OZTA, with a minimum OZTA coordination fee of $20 per agreed assignment. If coordination is already included in a paid package, there is no second fee. Samples and their delivery are paid separately. We do not apply this percentage to government charges, import taxes or the insurance premium.
