Air Freight Import to the Netherlands — from Pickup to Your Door
Incoming air freight from Asia, America or Africa? Aircargo.nl manages the entire import process — including clearance, import customs, and delivery to your location in the Netherlands or Europe.
Importing air freight to the Netherlands means working through Amsterdam Airport Schiphol — one of the busiest and best-connected air freight hubs in Europe. Every day, tons of air freight arrive here from all directions. Aircargo.nl receives your shipment at Schiphol, handles the full import customs clearance, and delivers it to your desired location in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe.

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 parts and pharmaceuticals. We identify potential issues before your shipment lands, not after.
Our import service includes:
