Paying a customer's import tax

Hi, I am sending a package to Holland for a client. I want to be able to pay all their charges up front. They don't speak English and, without going into it, the last time I sent anything it was a nightmare. If they can just get the package delivered and not have to faff about, I'm cool with paying extra whatever i have to. In this case, is there a courier who I can pay everything up front? Thanks.

I've usedfor parcels to various EU countries including to the Netherlands. Some services offer pre-paying the delivery fees which I have done and it worked smoothly. You can do a dummy booking to see what the total would be.I'm amazed that you've found someone in Holland who doesn't speak English!

Thank you, that's great!
PS "I'm amazed that you've found someone in Holland who doesn't speak English!" I would have been amazed too but for the fact that a year earlier I had problems sending a package to the Dutch Antilles. I was told by the large international postage company I was using that I would have to ring their Dutch department for answers. I rang their customer services department and found that even though it was their international CUSTOMER SERVICES dept nobody spoke English.
Thanks again for the link.2
