Expand Your UK Business with Fidelity Fulfilment's Netherlands Hub
Are you a UK-based ecommerce business, looking to expand into the European market?
Look no further, with Fidelity Fulfilment's Netherlands-based hub. With our strategic location and comprehensive fulfilment services, we can help you streamline your operations and accelerate your expansion into Europe.
Expanding your business into the EU means tapping into the benefits of the Single Market. By fulfilling your orders from our Netherlands-based centre, you can take advantage of streamlined logistics, reduced trade barriers, and access to a unified regulatory framework that facilitates cross-border commerce. Plus, with the recent changes in VAT rules and the introduction of measures like the Import One Stop Shop (IOSS), we ensure compliance and simplify the declaration and payment of VAT for distance sales of low-value goods imported into the EU.
Why the Netherlands?
With its central location in Europe and excellent connectivity, the Netherlands is strategically positioned to serve as a distribution hub for ecommerce businesses expanding into the EU. With quick access to overnight transport networks, the largest seaport in Europe (Rotterdam), and two major airports – Eindhoven Airport and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport – we ensure fast and effective delivery of your products to customers across the continent. Plus, with advanced railways and highways, we're never more than a few hours away from any corner of the country, providing unparalleled logistics support for Dutch retailers.
Infrastructure: The Netherlands boasts state-of-the-art infrastructure, including advanced transportation networks, modern fulfilment centers, and efficient customs procedures. These infrastructure investments ensure smooth and streamlined operations for businesses, enabling them to fulfil orders quickly and effectively.
Business-Friendly Environment: Known for its low-regulation economy and commitment to international trade, the Netherlands provides a conducive environment for businesses to thrive. From favourable tax policies to supportive government initiatives, the country offers a welcoming ecosystem for e-commerce businesses seeking to establish their presence in the EU market.
Access to Markets: With high levels of internet and mobile commerce penetration, the Netherlands offers access to a vibrant consumer market within the EU. Additionally, the country's extensive network of airports, railways, and highways ensures efficient distribution and quick access to major European markets, allowing businesses to reach customers across the continent with ease.
E-commerce Innovation: The Netherlands has emerged as a hub for e-commerce innovation, attracting tech startups and innovative businesses seeking to leverage its advanced infrastructure and digital capabilities. By establishing a presence in the Netherlands, ecommerce businesses can tap into the country's innovative ecosystem and drive growth through innovation and technology.

The OSS (One-Stop-Shop)
The One-Stop-Shop (OSS) is a VAT scheme designed for selling goods from one EU member state, for delivery to customers in another EU member state. One EU registration covers all EU Member States.
The IOSS (Import One-Stop-Shop)
If you are distance selling goods valued under 150 EUR into the EU, the IOSS affects you. This new import VAT scheme, called the Import One-Stop-Shop (IOSS), is designed to simplify the import of lower value goods for sellers outside of the UK.
EORI number
If you’re moving goods between Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) or the Isle of Man, and any other country (including the EU, Ireland, or Channel Islands), you are required to register for an EORI (Economic Operator Registration Identification) number. Without a valid GB or EU EORI number (UK EORI numbers start with ‘GB’, Dutch ones start with ‘NL’), your goods will not clear customs.
In the Netherlands, appointing a fiscal representative is an option for businesses looking to import goods into the EU. If you're looking to store your goods within the Netherlands, a representative can help you find the best VAT solutions, and manage your VAT requirements with ease.
At Fidelity, we partner with VAT and trade experts to help simplify the process for UK-based businesses looking to fulfil their goods from within the EU.
