If you wish to bring provisions aboard a seagoing vessel, you should first inform Customs. You should report the consignment no later than 2 hours before delivery of the goods on board by completing the Provisions Notification Form (only available in Dutch). You can send the form by e-mail or by fax.
You then need not present the goods to the customs office but can bring them directly on board at the time you have indicated.
For all harbours in The Netherlands provisioning should be reported to:
Customs Control Centre (CCC) Rotterdam Rijnmond

| E-mail address |
Monday through Sunday, 24 hours a day.
There are a number of specific regulations pertaining to provisioning. If you have any further questions, please call the Central Reporting Centre for Provisioning or the Customs Information Line.
