Receiving goods liable to consumer tax from another EU-country

Publication date 02-09-2025 | Last update 30-10-2025 | Webpage

Do you receive goods liable to consumer tax from another EU country? You do not require a Customs Authorisation. You should still file a daily return for the goods liable to consumer tax that you receive.

This return is to be filed with your customs office no later than 1 workday following the day on which you received the goods. For this purpose go to Mijn Douane. Do you receive goods liable to consumer tax more than once a week? Than Customs authorises you automatically to file a weekly return.
