Clothing Manufacturer for Dutch Brands

• Small first runs. Our minimum is typically 50 pieces per item, so you can test a style before committing to volume. Read what MOQ means.
• Duty-free options. Clothing from our UK, US and Pakistan partner factories can enter the EU at 0% when it meets the rules of origin.
• Room to grow. Repeat orders can reach around 50,000 pieces in a single shipment, from the same approved sample.
• A predictable timeline. Samples take 2–3 weeks, and bulk orders usually arrive 3–4 weeks from the order date, shipping included.

We make t-shirts, hoodies, jeans, sportswear, leggings and jackets for Dutch labels.

The Netherlands applies the EU's common customs tariff. Clothing from outside the EU normally pays 12%, and a lower rate depends on the country where the garment is made.

VAT in the Netherlands is 21%. Without a permit, import VAT is paid to Customs when the goods are cleared. With an Article 23 permit, it is declared on your VAT return instead and deducted as input tax on the same return, so no import VAT is paid up front.

A business based outside the Netherlands cannot apply for an Article 23 permit itself. A Dutch tax representative can apply for one and declare the VAT on your behalf.

Since July 1, 2023, anyone who professionally puts clothing on the Dutch market counts as a producer under the Dutch extended producer responsibility scheme for textiles, UPV Textiel. That includes importers, and foreign brands selling directly to Dutch customers online. It covers consumer clothing and workwear, plus bed, table and household linen; shoes, bags and headgear are outside it.

Producers must register with the government, either on their own or through a producer responsibility organisation. The Dutch Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate names three: Stichting UPV Textiel, European Recycling Platform Netherlands and Collectief Circulair Textiel. A producer based outside the Netherlands that registers on its own must appoint an authorised representative in the Netherlands.

Fibre content labels for the Dutch market are in Dutch, the official language. If you also sell in Belgium or Germany, a multilingual care and content label saves making a separate run for each country.
