The Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands is the largest container gateway in Europe, with the highest route density in Europe. It undertakes nearly 80% of the container transit volume on the European continent and is a strategic gateway to enter the Dutch and entire European markets. As summer temperatures in Europe continue to rise year by year, the market demand for electric fans as energy-saving and cooling tools continues to grow. Electric fans belong to ordinary mechanical and electrical products. Although there are no restrictions on the transportation of dangerous goods, the export process still requires professional control - HS code classification must be accurate, EU CE certification is a hard threshold for entry, and both the Dutch EORI number and VAT declaration process cannot be omitted.
Andaxun International Logistics has been deeply involved in the three major sources of goods in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen, with over ten years of experience in shipping mechanical and electrical products. We provide one-stop services such as full container load/less than container load, double clearance and tax inclusive, and door-to-door service to help you easily explore the European market!

-Key points of tariffs and value-added tax:
-Electric fans are usually classified under HS code 8414.51 (output power ≤ 125 watts), with a most favored nation import tax rate of 0% (preferential tariff for household fans, to be verified during business negotiations).
-The standard value-added tax rate in the Netherlands is 21%, calculated based on the total amount of CIF price plus customs duty.
-Tariff threshold: Import goods with a value (FOB) not exceeding 150 euros or a total tariff not exceeding 10 euros are exempt from tariffs; There is no threshold for value-added tax, and all goods are required to pay a 21% VAT.
-Starting from July 1, 2026, cross-border e-commerce B2C packages below 150 euros will be subject to a fixed tariff of 3 euros based on the category of goods.
Double clear and tax inclusive model: Andaxun fully pays customs duties and 21% value-added tax on behalf of customers, eliminating the need for them to handle Dutch tax declarations on their own, making it worry free and effortless!
2、 Shenzhen to Netherlands electric fan sea freight customs clearance documents and processes: essential core documents, worry free throughout the entire process
The Dutch customs have strict scrutiny on imported mechanical and electrical products, and documents are the core of customs clearance. Importers must have a valid EORI number (EU Operator Registration Identification Number), which is a basic prerequisite for dealing with Dutch customs. All imported goods must submit a customs declaration form, and the products must comply with EU safety requirements.
1. Eight core documents that must be prepared:
1. Commercial invoice: The product name, model, HS code, CIF value, and EORI number of both parties must be listed in English; The invoice amount must be consistent with the actual transaction, and underreporting the value may trigger customs valuation.
2. Packing list: List the gross and net weight, number of packages, dimensions, and marking information.
3. Certificate of Origin: CO or FORM A, used to enjoy tariff preferences (if applicable).
4. Original Bill of Lading (B/L): must match the name of the invoice.
5. CE certification documents: mandatory certification for entering the EU market. Must include testing reports and Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for the Low Voltage Directive (LVD 2014/35/EU) and the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC 2014/30/EU). The standard used must be the latest version after 2024.
6. EU Energy Efficiency Labeling (ERP) Registration: Household fans must meet the dual requirements of ERP ecological design and energy efficiency labeling, and must complete registration in the EPREL database and attach compliance labels (including QR codes).
7. RoHS testing report: certifies that the product complies with the Hazardous Substances Restriction Directive 2011/65/EU.
8. General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR) Compliance: Starting from 2026, product labels must include manufacturer information, importer information, European representative information, unique product identification (such as batch number), and safety warning language (in local language).
2. Dutch destination port double clearance process (our local cooperative customs clearance agency handles the entire process):
|Importer EORI filing | Ensure importer holds valid EORI number | 2-3 weeks in advance|
|Pre review of documents and ICS2 declaration | Pre review of documents 3-5 days before the arrival of goods at the port; Ocean freight must complete the full ICS2 declaration 24 hours before loading at the port of origin, with an increase in 27 declaration elements | 1-2 days|
|Electronic Customs Declaration | Declaration through Dutch Customs Electronic System | 1-2 Days|
|Inspection and release | Complete documents, moderate inspection rate for general goods | Regular 2-3 days|
|Tax release | Payment of customs duties (if any) and 21% value-added tax on behalf of others | Real time|
|Delivery | DPD/UPS/GLS/PostNL delivery to the entire region | 1-2 days|
>Time limit explanation: The above "customs inspection" time limit refers to the time limit for customs clearance and release of ordinary non sensitive categories. Electric fans belong to electromechanical products, and the manual filling error rate of ERP energy efficiency labels has led to an increase of about 18% in inspection rate. It is recommended to ensure that EPREL registration information is consistent with customs declaration data in advance.
3、 Shipping packaging requirements for electric fans from Shenzhen to the Netherlands: triple protection to ensure safety
Electric fans are mechanical and electrical products, and bumps and humidity changes during sea transportation may cause damage to the products. The correct packaging is the key to ensuring the goods arrive intact:
|First layer: shock-absorbing packaging | Each electric fan must be fully wrapped with bubble wrap or pearl cotton, and vulnerable parts such as motors and fan blades should be protected with special attention; It is recommended to customize wooden boxes or frames to fix high-value and precise specifications|
|The second layer: filling, fixing and moisture-proof | use foam board or air pillow to fill the gap between the product and the outer package; During the navigation of sea freight containers, humidity fluctuates greatly. It is recommended to place desiccants or use moisture-proof bags on the inside of the outer container; Multiple bundling of vulnerable parts using stretch film or wrapping film|
|Third layer: Outer box and pallet | Outer box: Use corrugated cardboard boxes with sufficient compressive strength (five layer corrugated paper is preferred); H-shaped sealing method, with corner protectors and tape width not less than 5 centimeters; The outer box must be labeled with clear operation labels such as "fragile", "upward", "sun resistant", etc; The mark must reflect the words "Made in China" and the recipient information. Wooden packaging: Wooden pallets must have IPPC fumigation markings (ISPM 15 standard), with double fixation of wrapping film and strapping|
Core points of packaging:
-The single box is controlled between 15kg-30kg, which is conducive to loading and unloading and not easily deformed
-Moisture proof top priority: High humidity during sea transportation, reinforced with desiccants/moisture-proof bags and stretch film to prevent electrical damage caused by moisture
-EPR label: The Netherlands has a recycling obligation for packaging materials, and the EPR label on the outer box needs to be checked in place for inspection at the destination port
4、 Precautions for Shipping Electric Fans from Shenzhen to the Netherlands: Avoiding Core Risk Points
1. CE certification and ERP energy efficiency labeling( ⚠️ The top priority
-CE certification is the passport to enter the European market, which must include complete LVD and EMC test reports and a Declaration of Conformity (DoC), based on the latest version of the standards.
-ERP energy efficiency label: Household fans with input power ≤ 125W must meet the dual requirements of ERP ecological design and energy efficiency label. Standby power consumption ≤ 0.5W (without screen) or ≤ 0.8W (with screen). Registration must be completed in the EPREL system, and the label QR code must be synchronized in real-time with the customs declaration system data.
-ErP 2026 new regulations: Starting from July 24, 2026, the new Ecological Design Regulation (EU) 2024/1834 will be officially implemented, with further improvement in fan energy efficiency requirements. The entire system (motor, aerodynamics, and auxiliary components) will be evaluated, and document integrity and partial load behavior information will be audited.
-The instruction manual must include Dutch language content, which is a mandatory regulatory requirement of Dutch customs.
2. EORI number and VAT compliance
-Importers must hold a valid EU EORI number, as goods without this number will not be able to complete customs clearance. All products must comply with EU safety requirements.
-If the importer does not have a local VAT number, our company can assist in arranging for a Dutch local importer to clear on their behalf.
-Value added tax deferral (Article 23): The Netherlands is the only EU country that allows deferred import value-added tax. Registered enterprises can deduct it during quarterly VAT declarations without the need to prepay 21% import value-added tax at the time of import, significantly releasing cash flow.
3. Special Reminder from Dutch Customs
-ICS2 Phase 2: Ocean freight must complete the full ICS2 declaration 24 hours before loading at the port of origin, with an increase in the number of declaration elements from 16 to 27, including HS codes and manufacturer identification codes accurate to the component level.
-Electronic Certificate of Origin: Starting from March 2026, all imported goods in the European Union must use an electronic certificate of origin.
-Label compliance: Starting from 2026, it is required to comply with the GPSR General Product Safety Regulations.
4. Peak season stocking and time management
-The summer season in the Netherlands (June September) is the peak period for electric fan shipments. It is recommended to stock up 45 days in advance and book cabin space as early as possible.
-Port congestion during peak season may result in delayed customs clearance and delivery times.
-During the navigation of sea freight containers, there is a significant fluctuation in humidity, and electrical products must be treated with moisture-proof measures.
5. Reminder of Policy Changes in 2026
-Starting from July 1, 2026, the policy of exempting cross-border e-commerce B2C packages below 150 euros from tariffs will be cancelled, and a fixed tariff of 3 euros will be levied according to the category of goods. The Netherlands may also charge an additional processing fee of about 2 euros, which will become a market with higher import costs for B2C small packages in the European Union.
