About shipping to the Netherlands
Home Safe ships from Saudi Arabia to the Netherlands, covering Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Hague and Utrecht. We collect from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Makkah, Madinah and every other city in the Kingdom, and ship by sea and air according to the size of your shipment and how urgent it is, at competitive prices and with a written quote that shows what the price includes before you commit.
The service covers inspection and volume estimate, dismantling and professional multi-layer packing, loading and transport, preparing the documents and customs clearance at the Port of Rotterdam, optional insurance on the value of the goods, temporary storage where needed, and then delivery to the address with reassembly. An update reaches you at every stage of the shipment until final receipt, so you are never left waiting without news.
We ship to the Netherlands whole-home furniture and appliances, personal effects and students’ boxes, commercial cargo and exhibition supplies, and heavy or delicate pieces that need wooden crates and special securing inside the container. Rotterdam is Europe’s distribution gateway, and from there a car continues by road.

We ship vehicles to the Netherlands — RoRo or container
Netherlands is one of the destinations we move cars to regularly, through the Port of Rotterdam. We recommend the most economical method for your car’s value and the arrival port, and prepare the entry documents before departure, not after the vehicle arrives.
- RoRo: The vehicle drives on by its own wheels — the most economical for used cars.
- Container: Secured with four straps and chocks under the tyres — more protective for luxury and classic cars.
- Triptyque: Temporary-entry procedures and release documents ready before shipping.
What sets shipping to the Netherlands apart
The nature of the route
By sea to the Port of Rotterdam, Europe’s largest port and its distribution gateway. From it the shipment continues by road to any city on the continent.
What its customs look at
The Netherlands applies European Union rules: customs duty and VAT on a car arriving from outside it, then a registration tax worked out on its emissions. A Gulf-specification car needs inspection and modifications before it can be registered.
What we ship there most
- Cars
- Relocation furniture
- Commercial goods
- Equipment
