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 to Asia, the Middle East, or Africa without formal EU import procedures. 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, aviation, and tech, managing the full transit — including handling, documentation, and onward carriage — from a single point.

The route from United States to United Kingdom is a regular airfreight connection that Aircargo.nl coordinates as an international shipment from the Netherlands.

Although the goods go directly from United States to United Kingdom, our team in Aalsmeer arranges the complete logistics: booking, documentation, customs in both countries, and monitoring from start to finish.
