The process

Importing to Netherlands, step by step

01

Choose and confirm

Pick a car from our inventory. The price shown is the full amount payable to us — the vehicle, shipping to Rotterdam, and all Korean-side costs.

02

Inspection and purchase

Our team in Seoul inspects the car in person and sends you a photographic report. We buy only once you approve.

03

Shipping

The car sails from Korea to Rotterdam, insured for its full value. Crossing time is around four weeks.

04

Customs and VAT

We clear the vehicle on arrival. You pay 21% Netherlands VAT — there is no customs duty on Korean-built cars.

05

Registration and delivery

RDW individual approval applies. BPM is calculated on CO₂ emissions — hybrids and EVs are taxed considerably more favourably. We deliver to your address and supply every document RDW requires.

Worth knowing

No import duty into Netherlands

Korean-built cars enter the EU free of customs duty under the EU–Korea Free Trade Agreement. On a €25,000 car that is roughly €2,500 you do not pay. Your 21% VAT and registration are settled with the Dutch authorities as normal.

Questions

Importing to Netherlands

Do I pay customs duty importing a Korean car to Netherlands?

No. Under the EU–South Korea Free Trade Agreement, cars manufactured in South Korea enter the EU at 0% customs duty. In Netherlands you pay 21% VAT and your registration costs — nothing further to customs. We supply the proof of Korean origin the exemption requires.

How long does delivery to Netherlands take?

Typically 30–38 days from purchase to your address. The vehicle sails to Rotterdam, clears customs there, and is transported inland to you.

How do I register the car in Netherlands?

Registration goes through RDW. RDW individual approval applies. BPM is calculated on CO₂ emissions — hybrids and EVs are taxed considerably more favourably. We provide the full document file — Korean registration certificate, export certificate, bill of lading, invoice and proof of origin — which is what the authority will ask for.

Which Korean models sell best in Netherlands?

Kia, Hyundai, Genesis are the makes our Dutch customers ask for most. Korean domestic specification is usually higher than the equivalent European trim, which is much of the appeal.
