The Netherlands: none of the surcharges that bite in Germany and France apply here
The Dutch store is defined by what it does not charge, and the list is longer than most sellers realise.
There is no digital services fee for a seller established in the Netherlands, because the country has not enacted a digital services tax. A UK-established seller pays 2% and a French-established seller 3% on both referral and fulfilment fees, but a Dutch one pays nothing.
More consequential for anyone holding stock: the Netherlands is exempt from all four of Amazon's inventory charges. The storage utilisation surcharge and the aged inventory surcharge apply only in Germany, France, Italy and Spain. The high-return-rate returns processing fee covers the same four plus the UK. And the Pan-EU low-inventory cost coverage fee states in terms that it "does not apply to the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Belgium and Ireland".
So slow-moving inventory costs materially less to hold here than one store to the east.
The referral table is not the German one
It is easy to assume the euro-zone marketplaces share a fee card. They do not. Amazon presents European referral fees in four columns, and the Netherlands sits with Belgium and Ireland, not with Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
Where the two diverge is worth checking before you price. Cycling accessories are 7% in the Dutch column against 15% in the German one. Automotive and powersports splits differently again. The headline categories match, so the difference is easy to miss, but on the affected categories it is the largest single number on the page.
Fulfilment is competitive too: EUR 2.31 for a 20g light envelope and EUR 2.60 at 460g, close to Germany and well under France.
What to add to the calculator
Two adjustments. Amazon's January 2026 package raised Dutch fulfilment fees by about EUR 0.02 a unit, unlike the reductions applied in the larger stores. And the 1.5% fuel and logistics surcharge has applied to FBA fulfilment fees since 17 April 2026, about EUR 0.05 a unit.
If you are considering Pan-European FBA, remember the trade-off: storing stock in another country triggers a VAT registration and reporting obligation there, and giving Amazon a VAT number for a country is itself the opt-in.
