Are you working on a project in the Dutch Caribbean and need reinforcement steel? Then you know: local stock is often limited. And finding custom prefabricated reinforcement is even more of a challenge. Fortunately, there’s an alternative that works: ordering from Betonstaal.nl. We deliver your reinforcement from the Netherlands smartly packed and fully tailored for export. Efficient, clear, and reliable, without unnecessary hassle.
At Betonstaal.nl, we know what it takes to deliver to Aruba, Curaçao, or Bonaire. No sales talk—just clear agreements, technical advice, and a tight process. You’ve got enough on your mind at the construction site; you don’t need stress about your reinforcement too.
We like to make things easy for you. Here are the steps:
1. You let us know what you needRequest a quote via our website. Have questions about sizes, types, or packaging? We're happy to help. No fuss, just clarity.
2. We prepare a quoteBased on your request, you’ll quickly receive a quote with all specifications. No surprises afterward.
3. You confirm, we produceOnce everything is approved and payment is received, we start production. Your items are bundled and packaged specifically for sea freight.
4. Delivery to the portWe deliver everything to Moerdijk or another agreed terminal. Your freight forwarder picks it up from there. They handle the export documents, including VAT exemption. Betonstaal.nl remains available for advice if needed.
5. Arrival on the islandYour container arrives, gets unloaded, and you can continue building right away. On time. As agreed.
Prefabricated cages? They may look convenient, but they’re often not suitable for export. They can get damaged or take up too much space. We recommend flat mesh panels and loose bars instead. These fit better in a container, are safer to transport, and easier to unload.
Even better: with our online configurator, you can fully customize your reinforcement. Including price, delivery time (excluding sea transport), and all specifications. You’ll see exactly what you’re getting.Try it yourself
Good news: for exports to the Caribbean, VAT does not apply to your order. Why? Because you’re importing into a country outside the EU, and that qualifies for the 0% VAT rate. This means you don’t pay the standard 21% VAT. But there are a few important conditions:
1. The goods must physically leave the Netherlands toward your island.2. You must be able to prove the goods were exported. We’ll take care of all required export documents, such as the Bill of Lading.3. It must be a business transaction.That way, you can be sure you’re benefiting from VAT exemption correctly.
“The whole process was smooth. What was new for us turned out to be routine for you—and it showed.”
Whether you're pouring a foundation in Aruba, building a hotel in Curaçao, or renovating a villa in Bonaire—we make sure your reinforcement is ready.
