Significant tax benefits Using Rotterdam and the Netherlands for your European imports yields significant tax benefits. VAT is not payable until the cargo reaches its final destination; in contrast, many other European countries require VAT payment the moment cargo arrives in the port.

Considering the large amounts which are often involved, this VAT shift positively impacts your cash flow.

Logistics-minded Customs Customs procedures in Rotterdam are handled quickly and efficiently. All administrative formalities take place electronically. Inspections are fully integrated in the logistics process.

This allows European Gateway Services to provide you with the shortest transit times to your final destination. While the seagoing vessel is en route from Rotterdam to the next European port of call, your cargo is already headed into Europe by barge or train. In many cases,
