Export clearance in the Netherlands
Need an export declaration? We check commercial documents and available transport details, identify the competent office of export and prepare clearance within the agreed scope. You do not need to know the port and terminal for an initial enquiry. For shipments through Rotterdam, we can combine clearance with port handling.

T1 from Rotterdam or an inland location
We prepare T1 from ports and other locations across the Netherlands for onward road and rail movements. We provide transit security, including for high volumes and high value shipments. We check the goods, departure point, destination and presentation arrangements. Excise, military or strategic goods and goods requiring veterinary formalities are assessed individually. Our service covers the formalities, not the transport itself or full import clearance at destination.

Portbase availability depends on the Rotterdam terminal
Portbase registration supplies document data for the relevant port process. We check the terminal, document type and its link to the container or transport unit, then confirm availability and scope. Registration does not replace export clearance, container collection rights or exit confirmation.

Amsterdam, Vlissingen and other locations
You can also enquire about other Dutch ports. Send the port and terminal name, documents and requested scope: export clearance, handling an existing MRN or T1. We do not assume that every port uses the same registration process. We confirm availability and requirements before accepting the order.
Documents and updates after transport changes
Email the documents available. We read and check the details, then ask about any gaps. For T1, identify the departure point and destination; for port registration, include the booking, document with MRN and terminal. We monitor available statuses within the service scope. After a booking or terminal change or loss of release, we verify the situation and agree the next action and any extra cost.
Before you send a request
Is your Dutch service limited to Portbase?
No. Portbase covers port registration for an appropriate Rotterdam terminal. We also handle export clearance and T1 from ports and inland locations in the Netherlands. Send the documents and route so we can establish which service you need.
How quickly will you reply and prepare a declaration?
Our reply standard is up to 15 minutes during business hours: Monday to Friday, 08:00–17:30 Polish time (CET/CEST). Preparing a declaration usually takes about an hour after complete documents and details. Customs decisions, inspections, loading and exit confirmation follow the course of the case. Evening or weekend handling can be agreed via WhatsApp.
Do I have to use a form or client portal?
No. Email the documents and we will extract and verify the details. We ask only for missing information and approval of the necessary actions. The form and client portal are optional; an API integration can be agreed individually.
