Wooden pallets in the Netherlands

Delivery to the Netherlands, from the Paris region

We say it plainly: DirectPAL has no Dutch warehouse. Our 3 storage sites are in the Paris region, and our northern depot, Mitry-Mory (77), connects directly to the A1. From there the routing is the classic north-European freight corridor: A1 to Lille, E17 through Ghent, E19 past Antwerp, then the A16 towards Rotterdam or the A2 towards Utrecht and Amsterdam. Most Dutch destinations sit 420–520 km from our gates — Rotterdam around 450 km, Amsterdam around 510 km — which a full truckload covers in 1 to 2 working days after loading.

The truck is loaded once at our depot and unloaded once at your dock. No cross-docking, no re-handling — and the per-pallet freight cost stays rational, which is the whole point of the full-truckload rule.

Who we supply in the Netherlands

The Netherlands runs a disproportionate share of Europe's logistics, and that is exactly where full truckloads of pallets belong: port and forwarding operations around Rotterdam, European distribution centres along the Brabant corridor (Breda, Tilburg, Eindhoven, Venlo), food processing and horticulture (greenhouse clusters and flower logistics in the Westland and around Aalsmeer), chemical sites from the Botlek to Chemelot in Limburg — CP pallets to the ECTA/VCI standard — and e-commerce fulfilment across the Randstad. We name sectors, not clients.

Sold outright — no pool, no exchange obligations

The Dutch market knows pallet exchange and pooling systems well. Our model is deliberately simpler: firm sale. The pallets are yours — no exchange bookkeeping, no pool fees, no return logistics, no dispute over what counts as an exchangeable pallet. Where a pool genuinely fits your flows, our pallet exchange & pooling guide says so without dogma; for everything else, buying outright from a wholesaler is usually the cheaper, cleaner option — the EPAL vs one-way comparison helps you decide which pallet to buy.

Re-exporting via Rotterdam? Think ISPM 15

Intra-EU flows need no treatment, but goods leaving the EU through Rotterdam or Schiphol must travel on heat-treated, ISPM 15-marked pallets (56 °C at the core for 30 minutes). We build new one-way and custom pallets to order with the treatment and marking, and confirm at quote whether your final destination requires it — see the ISPM 15 guide and the country list 2026.

VAT: reverse charge on your NL number

Intra-EU supply: invoice without VAT with your valid EU VAT number (reverse charge, Art. 138 of Directive 2006/112/EC). In practice: you give us your NL VAT number, we verify it in VIES, and the invoice leaves without French VAT. Nothing to reclaim abroad, no cash-flow drag. Documents in English, and Our team replies in French and English.
