Publication date 02-09-2025 | Last update 03-11-2025 | Webpage

The Customs Manual (Douane Handboek) lists the laws with which you can be confronted. And our procedures.

The Union Customs Code (UCC) took effect on 1 May 2016. The Customs Manual has been adapted to the UCC. Questions? In that case, call the Customs Tax Information Line.
