once you pay VAT in an EU country, then for a consumer the item should be
free of duty in other countries, as long as it is legal there.

there are some items where "consumer" seems to be taken to mean above a
certain volume you must be buying for resale and extra money will be
extracted according to the Revenue - wine for example.

If you or your company is VAT registered in the UK, the Dutch company
should not charge any VAT. You will owe the VAT at 17.5% to HMRC when
you sell the item.
