Common Questions from Netherlands Buyers
Can I use the Netherlands as an entry point to distribute across the EU?
Yes. Many EU buyers import through Rotterdam or Schiphol (Amsterdam) into the Netherlands and then distribute to Germany, Belgium, France and beyond within the EU single market — no additional customs required. This is a highly efficient import strategy for EU-wide distribution.
What are Dutch import duties on Indian handicrafts?
EU GSP rates apply: wooden handicrafts (HS 4420) 0–2.7%, brass articles 0%. Import VAT (BTW) of 21% is charged but fully reclaimable by Dutch BTW-registered businesses. A GSP Form A certificate from us enables preferential rates.

Yes. We ship directly to Rotterdam port (sea freight LCL/FCL) or Amsterdam Schiphol area warehouses by air. We coordinate with Netherlands-based freight forwarders on request.
