European Distribution Services for Indian Manufacturers
Rotterdam and Amsterdam are the heart of Dutch logistics. Rotterdam, with its deep-sea port and multimodal connections, enables smooth distribution throughout Europe. Meanwhile, Schiphol Airport strengthens the Netherlands’ position as an international logistics hub, offering direct airfreight connections and specialized handling for pharmaceuticals, perishables, and high-value goods.
Dutch Logistics Advantages
-
Customs Bonded Warehousing: Dutch customs procedures allow for the deferral of import duties and VAT, enabling goods to be stored and re-exported without immediate tax payments.
-
VAT Deferment via Fiscal Representation: With fiscal representation, Indian exporters can postpone VAT settlements, improving cash flow and simplifying administrative processes.
The Dutch government’s trade-friendly regulations make the Netherlands especially attractive for exporters. Customs bonded warehousing and fiscal representation reduce the financial burden of import and export operations. These benefits, combined with digitalized customs procedures, allow Indian companies to operate efficiently and compliantly while maintaining full control of their goods.

Strategic Access to European Markets
- Speedy Delivery: From the Netherlands, key markets such as Germany, France, and Belgium can be reached within 24 hours.
- Advanced Infrastructure: The Netherlands offers excellent road, rail, and inland waterway connections, ensuring fast and cost-effective distribution across Europe.
Its central location in Europe allows Indian exporters to distribute goods efficiently to neighboring countries. Whether by road, train, or inland barge, shipments from the Netherlands reach Europe’s largest consumer markets quickly. This makes the country one of the most strategic bases for companies expanding their European presence.
