Do I pay customs duty sending from Mozambique to Netherlands?
That depends on the customs relationship between Mozambique and Netherlands. A parcel for Rotterdam follows the rules of these two countries. Parcels moving inside one customs territory, such as between two EU member states, need no declaration. They attract no import duty and no import VAT.
Where the route crosses a customs border, a declaration accompanies every parcel. Booking from Mozambique generates the required form from the contents and value you enter. The recipient in Rotterdam pays any import duty and local VAT on arrival. Customs calculates both on the declared value. Declare honestly. Understated values are the most common cause of parcels held at the border.
Gifts below the local de-minimis threshold are often exempt from duty. Netherlands sets that threshold, not the carrier. Restrictions on excise goods such as alcohol and tobacco apply on every route. They apply even inside the EU.
Keep the commercial invoice or receipt available until the parcel arrives in Rotterdam. Customs in Netherlands may ask for proof of value.

We refuse these at collection. They are not insurable.
Some destinations restrict more than the universal list. Typical additions into Netherlands include alcohol and tobacco above personal allowances, prescription medicines without documentation, plant material and seeds, and cosmetics in commercial quantities. Branded goods can need proof of origin. Check the rules for Netherlands before booking when your item could fall in one of these categories.
Lithium batteries inside a device are accepted. Loose or spare batteries are not. Check before booking if you are unsure whether an item is accepted for delivery in Rotterdam. Parcels stopped in transit return at the sender's cost. The insurance does not apply to them.
