The Dutch Government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, introduced new restrictions on goods originating from Israeli settlements in territories occupied by Israel. Published in Staatsblad 2026, 222, the measure takes effect on September 22, 2026, and prohibits the importation of covered goods into Dutch territory, along with certain related trade activities.
Importers of Israeli-origin goods into the Netherlands should maintain sufficient documentation to demonstrate they are not sourced from restricted locations.
Where preferential tariff treatment under the EU-Israel Association Agreement is claimed, customs document code Y864 remains applicable to indicate the proof of origin does not relate to an excluded territory.
