An influx of British-based companies to the Netherlands has swelled as they struggle with the disruption of a customs border across the North Sea.
“We didn’t know what to do, and there was almost no government advice,” said Bysh. Many smaller companies simply stopped supplying the EU because they could not understand the paperwork and worried they would be trading illegally, he said. The 32,000 sq m warehouse has more than 300 customers, including a growing number from the Netherlands. UK companies can send a pallet at a time, keeping stock there, rather than sending individual items direct from the UK to consumers, each one of which would require a customs form.
It is also harder to hire temporary workers, vital in the ecommerce industry when orders peak before Christmas. In the UK agency workers are available almost on tap but the Netherlands has higher social benefits. Rotterdam, which had record container traffic of 15.3 million 20ft equivalents in 2022, was Brexit ready after updating its processing systems and educating traders.
But the number of UK customers has dropped from 367 to 300 since Brexit as many truck companies gave up on delivering to the EU because of increased paperwork.
