What drives the Italy → Netherlands transit time
Lanes this length typically run on one leg — a short‑haul flight or a line‑haul truck. The depot hand‑offs at each end, not the leg itself, are where most of the variance comes from.
Customs and clearance entering Netherlands
Every parcel entering Netherlands is presented to customs. Low‑value items often clear automatically, but anything above the local de‑minimis threshold can be held for duty or tax assessment — budget a day or two beyond the estimate for clearance, and more if documentation is queried.
