Importing from Canada
Imports from Canada primarily consist of high-tech products, medical equipment, raw materials, foodstuffs (salmon, maple syrup, lobster), and industrial components. Air freight is especially suited for perishables, samples, and urgent parts.
Air Freight vs. Sea Freight
Sea freight from Halifax, Montreal, or Vancouver to Rotterdam takes 8–16 days. Air freight via Schiphol is usually ready for clearance within 1 business day — essential for perishables and high-value shipments.
Customs for Imports from Canada
Under CETA, Canadian products benefit from preferential or zero-duty import, provided a correct Statement of Origin is supplied. Perishable products undergo EU phytosanitary and veterinary inspections at Schiphol through NVWA. Aircargo.nl handles full customs clearance including NVWA coordination.
