Air Freight Import to the Netherlands — From Pickup to Your Door

Incoming air cargo from Asia, America, or Africa? Aircargo.nl handles the entire import process — including customs clearance, import duties, and delivery to your location in the Netherlands or Europe.

Importing air freight to the Netherlands means working through Amsterdam Schiphol Airport — one of the busiest and best-connected air cargo hubs in Europe. Every day, tons of air freight arrive here from all directions. Aircargo.nl receives your shipment at Schiphol, handles the entire import customs clearance, and delivers it to your desired location in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe.

Smooth air freight import depends on proper documentation and an importer who knows the regulations. As an AEO-certified company with our own customs department, we have years of experience importing a wide range of goods — from consumer electronics and fashion to industrial components and pharmaceuticals. We identify potential issues before your shipment lands, not afterwards.

Our import service includes:

  • Coordination with your supplier or agent in the country of origin
  • Receipt of your shipment at Schiphol
  • Import customs declaration and clearance (including VAT and import duties)
  • Documentation check: invoice, packing list, AWB, certificates
