Shipping from Dubai to the Netherlands

The Netherlands has attracted a range of new arrivals for decades. Its progressive, live and let live vibe coupled with a diverse population and fantastic infrastructure make this a fantastic country to move to. However, whether you are shipping from Dubai to the Netherlands for the first time, migrating to the Netherlands for good, or returning home as a Dutch citizen. Relocating can be a daunting experience and the upheaval of changing Jobs/Lifestyle/Location can be stressful.

What should I prioritise when moving from the UAE to the Netherlands?

When should I start obtaining quotes for my relocation to the Netherlands?

We would strongly suggest you start obtaining quotes for shipping to the Netherlands at least 2 months before your target move date.

This should provide time to consider your quotations, formally advise the shipping company you have chosen and very importantly, secure your preferred moving dates.

Also, this allows enough time to finalise your visa/travel/shipping documents and all the other formalities you have to contend with before your move. This is likely to take more time than you anticipate.

What is the cost of moving to the Netherlands from Dubai?

The cost of relocating from Dubai to the Netherlands depends on a few factors. The most important factor is the volume of furniture. Generally speaking, the more furniture you include in your move, the higher the cost. 

Secondly is the Mode of shipping you choose. 

You can choose to move your items in your own shipping container, or if you’re moving only a few items and only a small amount of furniture you could choose a shared container.

This is known as “Groupage” in the moving industry. Of course, sharing a container, or Groupage, is likely more cost-effective than a dedicated container. However, the compromise you make is shipping times can be a little longer.

Approximate shipping cost options to the Netherlands are as follows:

Full Container (20ft / 40ft) – Starting from AED 16,000 AED

Groupage (Shared Container) – Starting from AED 700/CBM

LCL (Less than a container load) – Starting from AED 950/CBM

Air (Quickest, Most Expensive) – Starting from AED 35/KG

How long does it take to ship my goods to the Netherlands?

When estimating how long shipping from Dubai to the Netherlands takes, we have to consider the mode the goods would be travelling in. Air is the quickest and Sea is the slowest. 

Approximate transit times

Air Shipment – (3-4 Days)

Sole Container by Sea – (30-35 Days)

Part Container by Sea – (45-60 Days)

Another consideration when estimating time-frame is processing the shipment and customs clearance in Dubai and in the Netherlands. We would allow up to 1 week at both ends. (Airfreight should take a couple of days at both ends).
