Why is the Netherlands a European logistics hub?

Rotterdam is Europe’s largest port and Schiphol (AMS) a top cargo airport, connected to the Rhine hinterland by barge and rail. Many Dutch forwarders on CargoLinked offer European distribution, bonded warehousing, and value-added logistics from this gateway.

What is Article 23 import VAT deferment?

An Article 23 licence lets importers defer (rather than pay upfront) import VAT when clearing goods in the Netherlands, improving cash flow for European distribution. Forwarders offering fiscal representation can arrange this for non-resident importers.

Do EU shipments to and from the Netherlands need customs clearance?

Intra-EU trade moves without customs formalities; only non-EU imports and exports are declared. Given Rotterdam’s gateway role, most Dutch forwarders on CargoLinked specialise in EU import clearance, transit (T1), and bonded logistics.
