Importing from Germany

Air freight imports from Germany are relatively rare — most goods travel by road or rail. When air freight is preferred, it typically involves urgent machine parts, medical equipment, or time-sensitive industrial components. As an EU country, customs clearance is not required and shipments clear quickly.

Aircargo.nl also handles reverse logistics from Germany: returns, repairs, or returned goods that need to be quickly sent back to origin or to another destination.

As a specialized airfreight agent, Aircargo.nl manages daily import shipments from Europe. Germany is an important origin for airfreight to the Netherlands.

Our team manages the full import process: coordinating with our local agent in Germany, up to and including customs clearance at Schiphol and delivery to your address. We monitor every shipment in real time.
