US as a Crosstrade Hub via Schiphol

Schiphol is one of the few European airports with a fully equipped customs bonded warehouse, allowing goods from the US to transit via AMS directly to Asia, the Middle East, or Africa without a formal EU import procedure. This makes the US–Schiphol route particularly suitable as a crosstrade hub for multinationals organizing their European distribution through the Netherlands.

Aircargo.nl coordinates US crosstrades for clients in sectors such as pharma, aerospace, and tech, managing the entire transit — including handling, documentation, and onward carriage — from a single point.

The route from United States to Germany is a regular air freight connection coordinated by Aircargo.nl as crosstrade from the Netherlands.

Although the goods go straight from United States to Germany, our team in Aalsmeer coordinates the complete logistics: booking, documentation, customs in both countries, and tracking from start to finish.
