Shipping TipsComfortable If you have to meet a precise deadline, choose an express service. For less urgent shipments, standard road solutions offer a good balance between cost and time.
The Netherlands benefits from one of the most efficient logistics infrastructures in Europe thanks to the Port of Rotterdam - the largest on the continent - and the Schiphol airport hub.
This results in some of the most competitive delivery times in Western Europe for shipments from Italy.
Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague are generally reached in 2-3 working days. Northern provinces such as Friesland and Groningen, or the rural areas of Drenthe and Zeeland, may require an additional working day. In peak periods (Christmas, Black Friday, Easter) we recommend shipping 3-4 days in advance.
Holland or the Netherlands? An Important Shipping Distinction
“Holland” is the name by which Italians commonly refer to the whole country, but geographically and officially it is correct to speak of the Netherlands (Nederland). “Holland” actually refers to only two of the country's twelve provinces: Noord-Holland (with Amsterdam) and Zuid-Holland (with Rotterdam and The Hague).
For practical shipping purposes, the distinction makes no difference: when you select “Holland” or “Netherlands” in our calculator, the service covers the whole country, including the provinces of Utrecht, North Brabant, Limburg, Groningen, Friesland, Zeeland and others.
Distinction ShippingComfortable: Beware, however, of the Dutch Caribbean: the islands of Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Sint Maarten, Saba and Sint Eustatius are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands but NOT are members of the European Union and are not included in the destination “Holland/Netherlands”.
To ship to these islands, it is necessary to select the individual island as a separate destination - rates, times and customs procedures are completely different.
⚠️ Public holidays in the Netherlands - possible delivery delays
Around the following holidays in the Netherlands (Holland), shipments from Italy may be delayed. It is advisable to consider 1-2 additional working days compared to standard times.
📅 Major holidays in the Netherlands
1 JANUARY - New Year (Nieuwjaarsdag)
HOLY FRIDAY (variable date) – (Goede Vrijdag) - not always an official holiday, but many companies close
Shipping TipsComfortable The most critical periods for shipping to the Netherlands are EASTER, the Koningsdag (27 APRIL) and the period CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR. In these weeks it is advisable to send with at least 3-4 DAYS in advance to avoid delays, especially in big cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague.
Shipping to Holland in All Provinces
ShippingComoda delivers parcels, documents and pallets to all 12 provinces in the Netherlands. Below are the main areas served with the most important cities.
Note: The provinces of Zeeland, Friesland and Groningen can take up to 4 working days. For very remote rural areas, please consider adding 1 day to the estimated delivery time.
What You Cannot Ship to Holland - Prohibited and Restricted Items
The Netherlands is a member of the European Union: there are no customs controls for shipments from Italy. There are, however, items that are prohibited or restricted by Dutch couriers or regulations. Here are the most common cases.
Banned on all vehicles (aircraft and trucks)
Weapons, ammunition and explosives of all kinds
Narcotics and illegal drugs
Pornographic or obscene material
Counterfeit or trademark and copyright infringing goods
Prohibited or severely restricted by air
Lithium batteries (power bank, spare batteries): subject to IATA restrictions; generally only accepted if installed in the device
Aerosols and sprays (lacquers, deodorants, paints): classified as hazardous materials in the air cargo hold
Subject to specific restrictions for the Netherlands

Plants, seeds, bulbs and plant material (EU phytosanitary restrictions)
Fresh meat and animal products, hay and straw
This list covers the most frequent cases but is not exhaustive. See our complete page on prohibited articles or contact customer service dispatchComoda.
The Dutch Postcode - How to Fill It Out Correctly
The Dutch postcode system is precise and essential to ensure the correct delivery of parcels. Unlike the 5-digit Italian postcode, the Dutch postcode combines numbers and letters.
📍 Example of address in the Netherlands
Jan de Vries
Keizersgracht 123
1017 DL AMSTERDAM
NETHERLANDS
+31 6 12345678
Shipping TipsComfortable In the Netherlands the postcode is essentialis composed of 4 digits + 2 letters (e.g. 1017 DL) and precisely identifies the area. Entering it correctly, together with the exact house number, helps to avoid delays and guarantees faster delivery, especially in big cities like Amsterdam or Rotterdam.
Structure of the Dutch postcode
The format is: 4 digits + space + 2 capital letters.
Real-world examples:
Amsterdam centre: 1012 AB
Rotterdam: 3011 AB
The Hague (Den Haag): 2511 AB
Utrecht: 3511 GH
Eindhoven: 5611 AA
Maastricht: 6211 ET
The Dutch postcode is very precise: it often identifies a single street or a single block, not an entire area like the Italian postcode. Entering it correctly in the shipping form - with the space between the digits and the letters - is essential to avoid delays in delivery.
How to find the Dutch postcode
If you do not know the recipient's postcode, you can look it up free of charge on:
Postcode without space: writing 1012AB instead of 1012 AB may result in the address not being recognised by the courier. The space is mandatory.
Missing house number: in the Netherlands the house number always goes after the street name (e.g. Keizersgracht 123, not 123 Keizersgracht as in the Anglo-Saxon style). Without a civic number, delivery is at risk.
Telephone number absentDutch couriers often contact the recipient before delivery. Always enter a local (+31) or Italian (+39) telephone number in the notes field to drastically reduce failed attempts.
🇳🇱 Netherlands - More information
I Netherlands (Holland) are one of Europe's major logistics hubs, with capital Amsterdam and major cities such as Rotterdam, The Hague (Den Haag), Utrecht and Eindhoven. The country is famous for its canals, windmills and monuments such as the Anne Frank House and the port of Rotterdam, among the largest in Europe.
A curiosity: much of the Dutch territory lies below sea level and is protected by an advanced system of dams, making the country a world model of hydraulic engineering.
The cuisine includes specialities such as stroopwafel and fish dishes, while drinks include local beers and typical Northern European products.
🇮🇹 Links with Italy and Italians
Relations between Italy and the Netherlands are very strong, especially in trade and logistics. Italy exports to the Netherlands food, fashion, design and machinery, while Rotterdam is a key hub for Italian goods heading to Northern Europe.
Many Italians live and work in the Netherlands, especially in the big cities, and shipments are frequent:
sending family parcels
e-commerce and online sales
corporate shipments and samples
👉 Thanks to these connections and the advanced logistics network, shipping to the Netherlands from Italy is simple, fast and reliable.
FAQ - Sending a Parcel to the Netherlands
Is the Netherlands in the European Union? Do I have to pay customs?
Yes, the Netherlands is a member country of the European Union. For shipments from Italy there are no customs duties or additional customs clearance procedures due to the free movement of goods. Some categories (alcohol, tobacco, medicines) remain subject to specific restrictions. Please note: the Dutch Caribbean islands (Aruba, Curaçao, etc.) are NOT part of the EU and require customs documentation - select them as a separate destination in the calculator.
What is the difference between “Holland” and “Netherlands”?
“The Netherlands” (Nederland) is the official name of the entire state. “Holland” technically refers to only two provinces: Noord-Holland (Amsterdam) and Zuid-Holland (Rotterdam, The Hague). In Italian the two terms are used as synonyms and in our calculator both refer to the whole country: all 12 provinces are covered by the service, from Maastricht to Groningen.
How is the Dutch postcode filled in on the shipping form?
The Dutch postcode has the format: 4 digits + space + 2 capital letters (e.g. 1012 AB). Enter it exactly with the space between the numbers and letters. If you do not know it, you can find it on postnl.nl or provide the full address with street, house number and city.
How long does it take to send a parcel to Holland?
With the standard service, delivery takes 2-4 working days approximately. With the express service (DHL, UPS, FedEx) the time is reduced to 1-2 working days. Large cities such as Amsterdam and Rotterdam are generally reached in 2-3 days; northern provinces and rural areas may require an additional day.
Can I ship to Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague without any problems?
Yes, these cities are among the most frequent and best-served destinations for international express couriers. Amsterdam and Rotterdam benefit directly from the logistical infrastructure of Schiphol and the Port of Rotterdam - parcels usually arrive in 2-3 days.
Is home collection included in the price?
For most of the available couriers, pick-up in Italy is included in the price of the shipment. Exceptions are BRT and DPD, for which it may be necessary to deliver the parcel to a collection point. The detail is always visible at the time of quotation.
Can I ship Italian food products to the Netherlands?
Yes, it is possible to ship non-perishable and packaged foodstuffs (pasta, oil, preserves, sealed mature cheeses) without customs problems between Italy and the Netherlands. Fresh food and non-packaged products of animal origin, however, are subject to restrictions. Always check the product's compliance with EU regulations before shipping.
