Must-Read for Chinese in the Netherlands: Shipping from China to the Netherlands Is Easier Than You Think—Welisen Makes International Logistics a Breeze
Honestly, after all these years living in the Netherlands, the two things I miss most are hotpot and Taobao. Every time I wanted to grab something good from back home, just thinking about the complicated reshipping process made my head spin. But then I tried Welisen's forwarding to the Netherlands, and I realized I'd been overcomplicating things. Getting stuff from China to the Netherlands really isn't as tricky as I'd imagined.
You know how it is in Dutch Chinese circles—people are constantly talking about how to ship their Taobao, JD.com, and Pinduoduo finds over here. Some try international express couriers themselves and pay a fortune. Others ask friends to carry parcels over as personal items, which just leaves you drowning in favors. The truth is, professional forwarding to the Netherlands has been solid for ages; most people just don't know about it. Welisen International Logistics does exactly that—gets your Chinese goods to your door in the Netherlands, safely and affordably.
Why You Need a Forwarder for the Netherlands
If you live in the Netherlands, you've definitely run into this: you want to buy a hanfu, but it's either unavailable abroad or crazy expensive. That new Chinese gadget? Half a year late in Europe. And then there's all the snacks and seasonings—most Asian supermarkets here barely scratch the surface. Basically, the demand is clearly there; the question is how to get them over.
Try telling a Taobao seller to ship directly to the Netherlands? Most won't do it, and if they do, the shipping fee is terrifying. Plus, a single parcel sent by air express is an easy target for customs duties. That's where a forwarding warehouse comes in—they receive your orders for you, hold them, and you send everything together in one go. That's the whole idea behind reshipping to the Netherlands.
What Makes Welisen's Forwarding to the Netherlands Different?
There are plenty of reshippers out there, but only a handful are reliable. At Welisen, we've been doing this long enough to see too many customers burned. Some warehouses only offer a few days of free storage, then pile on charges. Others do a lousy job of consolidating boxes—your stuff arrives smashed. And some are just the worst: they take your money and vanish. We're not like that. We wanted to make international logistics simpler and overseas shopping stress-free.
Free 180-day storage—that's our killer feature. You can buy slowly from different shops, and all parcels stay free in our warehouse for half a year. No surprise storage fees. Gather everything you want, then ship together. Smart and easy.
Box consolidation that saves you money—now that takes skill. Last week, a client in Arnhem ordered three boxes of glass teacups and ceramic bowls from 1688, plus some clothes, split across five packages. Our warehouse team combined everything they could, ditched the unnecessary packaging, and ended up sending just two cartons. The shipping cost dropped by about 40%. The client couldn't believe it—said not a single cup broke. Honestly, it's no miracle. It's just packing like a pro, knowing exactly how to fill gaps with foam and bubble wrap.
Sensitive goods channels—another thing we're good at. Lots of forwarders refuse food, cosmetics, or electronics with batteries. Or they take your money but don't have a solution when customs grabs the package. Welisen has dedicated channels for sensitive items: things like luosifen (river snail noodles), hotpot base, power banks, skincare—they all get through safely to the Netherlands. Of course, we declare everything truthfully and follow the rules. Doing it the proper way actually minimizes risk. Last month, a daigou (personal shopper) sent a batch of sheet masks to Rotterdam through our sensitive line. Delivered in 10 days, no duties, everything intact.
Free unboxing inspection photos so you can relax. Once your package reaches our warehouse, we can open it up, check the contents, and send you photos. If something's off, you catch it fast and return it locally, instead of getting a nasty surprise after traveling thousands of kilometers.
Multiple courier options—DHL, FedEx, UPS, SF Express International, you name it. Based on your parcel weight and how fast you need it, we'll recommend the best fit. Usually, for small parcels to the Netherlands, DHL Express takes 3–5 days; for bigger shipments, air freight or sea freight saves money but is slower. The choice is yours.

Dutch Customs: Will My Forwarding to the Netherlands Get Taxed?
This is the part everybody worries about. Frankly, Dutch customs takes imported parcels seriously, but it's not a mystery. The trick is the declared value. We suggest declaring around 70–80% of the actual value. Don't go too low, or you'll attract extra scrutiny. We've got plenty of experience and know how to help you declare sensibly, lowering the odds of a tax bill.
Of course, if you do get hit with duties, we'll help sort it out. Usually, small personal shipments only involve a modest fee. For larger, higher-value orders, pre-paying the duty beforehand is the safer bet. One of our long-time Dutch customers always declares truthfully but skillfully splits boxes; he's never been taxed. For specifics, just talk to us.
What Our Users Say
We've helped a ton of Chinese friends here in the Netherlands.
Xiao Lin, a PhD student in Eindhoven, told us: "I needed some technical books for my lab, plus the domestic skincare my wife insists on. Welisen consolidated everything to the Netherlands—fast and affordable, about half what DHL charges directly. The 180-day storage was a lifesaver; I'd been buying stuff here and there for two months before I finally shipped."
An'an, a student in The Hague, shared: "I forwarded a box of snacks—dried pork floss, duck neck, hotpot base—and they all got here without a hitch! Welisen's sensitive goods channel is a lifesaver. Now my classmates keep asking me to help them order, so I've pretty much started a little side business."
Mr. Chen from Amsterdam: "I use Welisen regularly to forward furniture samples to the Netherlands. Delivery times are consistent, the packing is rock-solid. Two years in, zero problems. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs shipping from China to the Netherlands."
Common Questions, Answered
Q: How long does forwarding to the Netherlands usually take?
A: Depends on the service. DHL Express: 3–5 working days. Economy lines: 7–12 working days. Sea freight: 35–45 days. Keep in mind customs doesn't process on weekends.
Q: What's the maximum weight you can send?
A: Theoretically no upper limit, but if a box gets too heavy, splitting it is smarter—avoids damage during handling. Usually, we recommend no more than 30 kg per carton.
Q: What can't be shipped?
A: Obviously prohibited items—firearms, drugs—are a no-go. Common things like powders, liquids, or products containing alcohol might face restrictions. Best to check with customer service. That said, our sensitive goods line can handle quite a lot.
Q: How is shipping cost calculated?
A: We charge based on the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight. Volumetric weight (kg) = length × width × height (cm) / 5000. Our system does it automatically—transparent and fair. Consolidating boxes reduces volume, so you pay less.
