Full set of EU documents
EUR.1, CE certificates, Dutch CoO - everything for the EAEU customs. The Netherlands strictly enforces export laws.
English is the working language
The Netherlands is one of the countries with the best English proficiency in the world (70% of the population). We negotiate directly without a language barrier.
VAT 21% taken into account in the calculation
Dutch VAT is refunded upon export. The total cost is less than the Bol.com or FNAC retail price.
