Ship goods out of the Netherlands to yourself or to customers worldwide, without registering your own export entity. As your Exporter of Record (EOR), A Traders handles the export declaration, licensing checks, procurement, sourcing, and customs documentation — so your shipments leave the EU properly registered, VAT-free, and on schedule.

Who this is for: Companies selling from Europe to non-EU markets, non-EU businesses re-exporting through the Netherlands, or companies that need buying/procurement and shipping from the Netherlands or Europe — anyone who needs a compliant export structure without building their own.

How it works

  1. Free eligibility check. We assess your goods, destination, and whether any export licensing or restrictions apply.
  2. We set up the documentation. To stay compliant with local authorities, we put the proper procedures and documents in place.
  3. We file the export declaration. Acting as EOR, we submit your export declaration through the Dutch customs system.
  4. Documentation travels with the shipment. Your goods carry the correct export accompanying document, valid at the chosen EU exit point.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use an Exporter of Record if I don’t have an EU company?
Yes — that’s the core purpose of the service. A Traders acts as the legally accountable exporter so you don’t need your own EU-registered entity.

Does Exporter of Record cover restricted goods?
We check every shipment against relevant export control rules before filing, and flag any licensing requirements upfront.

Can the same shipment need both an Importer and Exporter of Record?
Yes, if goods move through the Netherlands as a transit point — entering under IOR and re-exporting under EOR.
