iHerb Shipping to the Netherlands: Delivery, VAT, and Customs
Ordering from iHerb to the Netherlands? This guide explains available delivery methods, VAT and customs handling, possible duties, carrier arrangements, and important import checks.
This guide covers iHerb orders delivered to the Netherlands. The information was checked in 2026 and is based on the official iHerb shipping reference. Shipping, customs, tax, carrier, and delivery terms can change, so verify the current conditions with iHerb and the relevant Dutch authorities before placing an order.
Shipping methods and delivery charges
iHerb offers delivery to the Netherlands through several carriers. Free delivery is available for orders over €30, although carrier and product exclusions may apply.
- Global Air: €4 delivery for orders below €30.
- Mondial Relay: Duties, taxes, and fees are prepaid at checkout.
- DPD: Duties, taxes, and fees are prepaid at checkout.
- PostNL: Duties, taxes, and fees are prepaid at checkout.
Delivery timelines are estimated at checkout rather than guaranteed. Air-freight delays, customs clearance, and other circumstances outside iHerb’s control may extend transit times.
VAT and customs in the Netherlands
iHerb is registered for the Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS). For distance sales of imported goods valued at no more than €150, iHerb states that it collects, declares, and pays VAT to the tax authorities. VAT is included transparently in the displayed pricing.
Some couriers may apply order limits or value caps to support automated customs clearance. Orders close to a tax-free threshold may still be assessed duties and taxes because exchange rates can change between the order date and customs clearance.
For Global Air, Mondial Relay, DPD, and PostNL, applicable duties, taxes, and import fees are described as being pre-collected at checkout, so no further payment should be required on delivery under the stated shipping arrangements.
Customs duty from July 2026
From July 2026, a €3 customs duty applies to certain goods imported from outside the EU in parcels valued under €150. The duty is charged per customs product category, not per individual iHerb product category.
- Several products in the same customs product category may incur one €3 duty.
- Products from different customs product categories may incur more than one €3 duty.
- For example, supplements, skincare, and pet products in three different customs categories could result in duties of up to €9.
iHerb states that applicable customs duties may be reimbursed through a discretionary discount at checkout when the order exceeds €10. Customs duties may be displayed for transparency. If a duty is applied unintentionally, contact iHerb customer service.

Product restrictions and import checks
iHerb attempts to block prohibited products from appearing on its site, but local import regulations can change frequently. Customers in the Netherlands should independently confirm that each product is permitted for import by checking with the Dutch Customs authorities, Belastingdienst/Douane.
Product eligibility is separate from shipping availability. A product that can be ordered online may still be subject to local import requirements or restrictions. iHerb’s Terms of Use may also apply.
Before placing an order
- Confirm that the products are permitted for import into the Netherlands.
- Check the order total and whether the selected method qualifies for free delivery.
- Review VAT, customs duties, discounts, and import fees displayed at checkout.
- Check the estimated delivery timeline and selected carrier.
- Keep the order and checkout details in case you need to contact iHerb or the carrier.
These arrangements are a practical reference, not a guarantee of delivery timing, customs treatment, or product admissibility. Confirm current details with iHerb, Dutch Customs, and the selected carrier before ordering.
