CLIENT RESOURCES
Complete your application, sign it and upload your documents. TWG.travel will review and submit your application to Dutch Customs on your behalf.
This guide is for TWG clients whose firearm journey requires Dutch consent. We check the requirement against your route and circumstances, including each direction of travel.
Your part: provide accurate information, sign your application and upload the supporting documents.
Our part: review the packet, resolve missing details with you and submit it to Dutch Customs on your behalf. Please return the paperwork to TWG so we can manage the application.
These buttons open the official PDFs directly. Save a copy and open it in the desktop Adobe Acrobat Reader application. Complete the form there, rather than inside your web browser.
Read the explanatory notes included with the application. Use the separate annex when you need additional equipment entries.
Use your ticketed itinerary and supporting documents alongside the form.
Unsure about a field? Ask TWG before signing. Do not guess identification numbers, proof-test status, legal classifications or authorization details. We will help resolve these against your documents.
Check your name, routing, dates and equipment against your supporting records. Pay particular attention to serial numbers; a single incorrect character can cause an application discrepancy.
Save and print the completed application. Sign and date question 8, and add your name and signature to each completed annex. Scan the signed pages clearly for upload. Keep your working copy and signed originals.
Use the Dutch instructions above for this application, even if you have followed a different signing process for another country’s form.
Upload the signed application with the following paperwork. You do not need to resend a usable document that TWG has already confirmed receiving.
Tell us if something is pending or was provided elsewhere. We will identify outstanding items rather than ask you to start again. The invitation letter and 4457 do not replace a separate destination authorization where one applies.
Use the secure upload page and the access instructions supplied by TWG. Include your full traveler name so we can match the documents to your reservation, and wait for the upload confirmation.
A helpful filename is SURNAME-FIRSTNAME-DUTCH-CONSENT.pdf. Check that all completed pages and signatures are readable before uploading. Use the secure page for passport and detailed firearm documents.
If you cannot access the upload page, contact us for help.
TWG checks your application and accompanying documents against your itinerary, contacts you about any corrections, and confirms submission timing. We then submit the application packet to Dutch Customs on your behalf and communicate the outcome and any further requests.
Uploading documents is not confirmation of submission or approval. Dutch Customs decides whether to issue consent. Airline acceptance and other countries’ permissions remain separate requirements.
Start gathering paperwork when requested by TWG. We will advise your collection target and appropriate filing timing for your trip; no approval date is guaranteed. Tell us promptly about changes to flights, dates, passport, firearms or ammunition.
Email steve@twg.travel or call +1 (210) 858-9833. Tell us which question needs clarification, and keep sensitive document images in the secure upload system.
