Shipping E-cigarettes to the Netherlands
The Netherlands follows EU TPD, overseen by the Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA). E-cigarettes are legal but subject to strict controls, with a focus on child safety.
E-liquids with nicotine up to 20mg/ml, 2ml tanks, and Dutch labels with warnings like “Nicotine is verslavend” (Nicotine is addictive). Packages must be child-resistant, and e-liquids must not contain colors or flavors appealing to minors (e.g., bubblegum).
Transporting e-cigarettes to the Netherlands requires compliance with CLP for chemical labeling—each e-liquid bottle must list hazards and ingredients. Lithium batteries must adhere to IATA guidelines for air freight, with a maximum of 10 devices per package.
Customs documentation includes a commercial invoice, EORI number, and NVWA compliance certificate. The Netherlands imposes 21% VAT on e-cigarettes, plus a tobacco tax of €0.08 per ml of nicotine e-liquid. NVWA conducts regular checks on imported e-cigarettes, so ensure all products meet safety standards.
