Thanks. Pretty frustrating.
Presumably if I was bringing it over in person on a ferry (as an assembled, rideable bike) I wouldn't get charged?

I’m not sure you would have to pay import charges anyway - it’s already your bike, there’s no transfer or money or asset. Check local rules for shipping personal effects.

I think legally you should declare that you are importing the bike and pay charges even if you ride it on and off the ferry.

I think you’d be ok. Technically you’ll be committing tax evasion, but we won’t tell anyone.

Yes, you will need to pay duty and/or tax. The NL -> UK rules are at https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty. You need to find the equivalent Dutch rules.
Perhaps start at https://www.government.nl/topics/export-import-and-customs/taxes-on-imported-goods but that rapidly leads to documents only available in Dutch.
