Delivery options to the Netherlands
We drive it. One of our drivers brings the car to the Netherlands on temporary export plates, with insurance, and hands it over at your address. Fuel, tolls and the driver’s return trip are included in the quote.
Car transporter. The car travels to the Netherlands on an open or closed truck, with no extra kilometres on the odometer. The usual choice for new, high-value and collector cars.
The road distance from our base in Crissier to Amsterdam is roughly 850 km.
Customs and taxes in the Netherlands
the Netherlands is in the EU and Switzerland is not, so the car is cleared through customs when it enters the EU. Import VAT is charged at the the Netherlands rate, and customs duty is usually 0% or 10% depending on the car’s proof of origin. Your registration office may ask for a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) and proof that customs and VAT were paid. Before you buy, we tell you which documents we can provide.
Taxes and rules in the Netherlands are set by your authorities and can change. Our notes are general information, not tax advice.
Why buyers in the Netherlands look at Swiss cars
Swiss cars must pass regular official inspections, often come with a full dealer service history and are usually generously equipped. When a VAT-registered dealer sells a car for export, Swiss VAT is normally not charged, so you pay import VAT in the Netherlands instead of paying twice. Compare the total cost: purchase price, our quote and your import taxes.
