Taylors Courier Service runs a full artwork shipping service for artwork shipping bound for the Netherlands. We arrive with the materials, pack on site, and take the goods away the same visit.
Routing runs via Harwich–Hook of Holland, Hull–Rotterdam or Eurotunnel via Belgium, then a short motorway run to almost anywhere in the country. Transit is typically 1–2 days from mainland Great Britain, and roughly 340 road miles from London to Amsterdam.
Customs paperwork for the Netherlands is covered further down this page.

How we pack for the Netherlands route
The crossing matters. Harwich–Hook of Holland, Hull–Rotterdam or Eurotunnel via Belgium means the load is restrained for road and sea movement, and anything moisture sensitive gets a barrier layer before it is wrapped.
- Glass taped and faced, corners protected, surface never compressed
- Foam-lined travel frames or cases for valuable works
- Work carried and loaded upright, never flat-stacked
- Moisture barrier applied for ferry and winter routes

Customs and documentation for Netherlands
Export declaration and Dutch import entry. Rotterdam and Amsterdam handle volume efficiently, but paperwork errors are picked up quickly rather than waved through.
We prepare the transport documentation and an itemised, valued packing list to travel with the load. Where formal clearance is required we work alongside your broker rather than claiming to replace one.

We deliver across the Netherlands, including Randstad, North Holland, South Holland, Noord-Brabant, Utrecht and Gelderland.

Frequently asked questions
How long does artwork shipping to Netherlands take?
Transit is typically 1–2 days, routing via Harwich–Hook of Holland, Hull–Rotterdam or Eurotunnel via Belgium. Economy parcel and groupage services take longer because they run to a network schedule. We give you a band rather than a promise, and we tell you if your deadline is not realistic before you book.
What does it cost to ship to Netherlands?
Guide prices for this service start at Instant Quote. Crated, high-value, oversized or time-critical consignments priced on the specifics. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.
Do I need customs paperwork for Netherlands?
Yes, you should plan for it. Export declaration and Dutch import entry. Rotterdam and Amsterdam handle volume efficiently, but paperwork errors are picked up quickly rather than waved through. We prepare the packing list and transport documents; formal clearance is confirmed at quotation.
Do you build travel frames or cases?
For valuable or repeatedly-travelled work, yes — a reusable case is often cheaper over two or three movements than repeated soft packing. For a single journey we usually specify foam-lined protection instead.
Can you deliver to a gallery on an install date?
Yes. Tell us the install window when you request a quote and we will plan the crossing and driver hours around it rather than around ours.
