Road tax needs to be paid and the calculation is based on the type of car plus the CO2 emissions, the year and make of the car, and the type of fuel. If your vehicle does not emit any CO2 or if your car is older than 40 years, road tax is excluded. If you run on a diesel car,the tax will be higher than petrol. Once your car is registered and you have obtained new license plates and paid your taxes, then all you need is local automobile insurance to drive legally.

The import duty on modern cars shipped to the Netherlands is 31%. However if you are permanently shifting to the Netherlands you may completely avoid paying the import duties on the car. Requirements are as follows: you must have lived outside of the EU for the past 12 months, and you must have purchased the car outside of the EU, paid sales tax and driven the car for the past 6 months.

The price you get will depend on:

• How the car is driven to the port. You’ll pay more if we pick it up from you and get it to the port, vs. if you just bring it to the port on your own.
• How big or small your vehicle is. For instance, it costs more to ship a large SUV or pickup truck than it does a compact car.

Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO) Shipping Service

RORO is the most affordable service, also one of the most common ways to ship a car overseas is RORO. This is done by a person driving the vehicle onto a RORO ship, parking the vehicle in a relevant parking space and securing it in place for the long voyage safely across broads.

Once you decide to ship via RORO, it's best you consider how frequent RORO departures are from the port closest to you and if that particular port accepts RORO shipping service.

Container Shipping Service

If you intend to have the safest voyage for your car from all external factors, the container shipping service is the best method. However, this method is more costly than RORO.

Containers are sealed inside, and all contents are safe from vandals, weather and potential theft during shipment.

You can save money by sharing a large container with another customer.

The only disadvantage of sharing is that you might need to wait until the other customer has loaded their vehicle.

Main Ports in the Netherlands

Most main ports in the Netherlands do accept oversize and other container shipments, but some do not take RORO shipments. Large main port cities such as Amsterdam or Rotterdam are the easiest to ship any shipment. Rotterdam, one of the main cities in the Netherlands offers state of the art scanning tools for large containerized shipments and other types of container shipment. This makes the customs clearance much quicker than at other smaller ports in the Netherlands. Once you get the confirmation of the delivery date, you will need to be present at the relevant port to accept the shipment. However, if you like you can also opt to deliver the car to your doorstep.
