由 lltx1822 Consolidation Solutions and Cost Calculation for Shipping Sofas and Electric Chairs to the Netherlands
As an important logistics transit point in Europe, furniture shipping in the Netherlands is convenient, but the policy requirements are clear. FCL sea freight is a common choice for large furniture such as sofas and electric chairs, as it can ensure transportation efficiency and reduce costs.
Before shipping, understand the regulations of the Dutch customs on furniture imports. For example, electric chairs need to meet EU electrical safety standards. After sending the furniture to the consolidation company, the company will compress and pack the sofas and disassemble and pack the components of the electric chairs for easy transportation and customs clearance.
The transit time for FCL sea freight from China to major Dutch ports such as Rotterdam is 30 – 35 days. The freight for a 20 – foot container is 13000 – 19000 yuan, and for a 40 – foot container, it is 19000 – 26000 yuan. Purchase cargo transportation insurance during transportation to protect the safety of the furniture during transit.
After the furniture arrives at the Dutch port, customs clearance procedures must be handled in accordance with EU regulations. The tariff rate for furniture in the Netherlands is about 5% – 12%, depending on the type and material of the furniture. After customs clearance, you can choose a local professional furniture delivery company in the Netherlands to deliver the sofas and electric chairs to customers’ homes and provide installation and debugging services.
