NL/PL/CZ/HR/SK/SI/BE Air DDP Battery Cargo

Air freight on this route runs about 5–10 business days door-to-door, plus roughly 3–6 days of clearance/dwell once it reaches the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP terms.

Clearance is handled by the national EU customs authority. The regime is: Import VAT 17–27%; duty 0–12% by TARIC, with a de-minimis position of EUR 150. Under DDP these are pre-paid, so nothing is collected on arrival.

For regulated goods, plan for: CE marking + IOSS for low-value parcels. Missing conformity paperwork is the most common clearance hold with the national EU customs authority, so confirm requirements for your HS code before shipping.

DDP means one price covering freight, the duty/tax owed to the national EU customs authority, and last-mile delivery to your door in NL/PL/CZ/HR/SK/SI/BE. There are no surprise charges at destination.

Yes — battery cargo by air follows IATA PI966/PI967; we run certified battery channels via the main gateway airport. Brand-goods and DG paperwork are handled within the DDP service. Surcharges apply.

the national EU customs authority typically requires a commercial invoice with HS codes, a packing list, the bill of lading/air waybill, a certificate of origin (may lower duty), and any product certification (CE marking + IOSS for low-value parcels). We file these under DDP.
