Yes, but you’ll need to be able to navigate sometimes complex obligations around tax payments. The answer may be having a fiscal representative in the Netherlands. A fiscal representative is a local Dutch company appointed by a non-EU business to handle VAT obligations on their behalf.

A Netherlands freight forwarder like Dimerco can help you determine if a fiscal representative solution makes sense for you.
