Value Added Logistics Tailored to Your Needs

Our Antwerp warehouse goes far beyond simple storage. We provide tailored value-added logistics (VAL) services, such as repacking, bagging, palletizing and labeling. These services are especially useful for exporters who want to adapt products to specific European regulations or customer requirements after import.
By offering integrated warehousing and VAL under one roof, De Rijke helps Indian exporters save time, reduce handling costs and maintain consistent quality control throughout the chain.

Customs Brokerage and Fiscal Representation

Our in-house customs brokers manage all aspects of your import and export declarations directly on-site in Antwerp. This minimizes delays, improves compliance, and removes the need for external intermediaries.
We also offer limited fiscal representation, allowing Indian companies to benefit from VAT deferment on EU transactions. Combined with bonded warehouse status, this creates opportunities for cash flow optimization and tax efficiency in your European operations.

Supply Chain Scenarios via Antwerp

Imagine a textile shipment arriving from India by sea. Upon arrival at the port of Antwerp, the goods are transferred to our ADR-certified warehouse for inspection and storage. After repacking and labeling, the goods are distributed via the E313 corridor to retailers and distribution centers in Germany and France within 24–48 hours.
In the pharmaceutical sector, active ingredients can be stored under controlled conditions in our GMP-compliant zones, before being dispatched on-demand to formulation sites across the EU. In both scenarios, real-time inventory dashboards give your team full visibility throughout the process.
