Rely on us to ship your container to the Netherlands from the USA. We have shipping lines departing from all major American ports. We hold 25 years of experience in this industry and are highly skilled at shipping containers to Netherlands containing products such as consumer goods, capital goods, industrial supplies and materials, and automotive vehicles (cars, parts, and engines).

Here's how it works:

The process is quite simple. You just have to let us know where the goods are located for pickup, as well as what you’re shipping and the desired size of container. In turn, we will let you know how much it costs to ship your container to the Netherlands. This all depends on the product to be shipped and the size of the container. Remember, we will only authorize your credit card to ensure the funds are there, but we will not charge it when you first place the order. Once authorization clears, we will send our reliable truck driver to the location with an empty container. Upon arrival he or she will stand by while the goods are loaded. Then, once the container is properly sealed, the driver will transport the container to the assigned departure port for loading and shipment to the Netherlands. Mail the notarize Original Bill of Sale to our offices for necessary Customs clearance. The truck driver will get a copy of this Bill of Sale, plus a dock receipt that we will provide. Payment can be then be made by a variety of methods: credit card, check, or bank transfer. You’ll find that the whole process runs rather smoothly.

Information For USA Based Companies -

If your company is shipping a container to the Netherlands, it’s important to note that there are times when a license is required when exporting controlled commodities/goods. For those who are not sure whether a license is needed to export their product, we can fill you in on this information after receiving your quote form. Also, the importer, or receiver, is the one who pays for the import duties once the product arrives at its destination.

The governing body responsible for enforcing laws and regulations for all goods exiting the USA is the United States Department of Customs and Border Protection, or CBP for short. Even though the CBP enforces export rules and regulations, this governing body may pass on authority to other government agencies in some cases where particular commodities or goods are concerned, such as prescription drugs. So, in this example, a pharmaceutical company based in the US shipping a container to the Netherlands will require a license to export those drugs.

To learn which basic commodities/products require export licenses, you can view the websites of the U.S. Department of Commerce; Bureau of Industry and Security; Department of State; Directorate of Defense Trade Controls; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Drug Enforcement Administration; Nuclear Regulatory Commission; Office of Foreign Assets Control; or the Bureau of the Census. Here, you’ll also find agency information and phone numbers of government agencies boasting export control responsibilities.

Information for Dutch Based Companies -

A Dutch based business that wants to import goods of any kind must check to see if a license is required. It’s crucial to obtain the right license on importing controlled goods, as you don’t want to violate any laws. If the company receiving goods in the Netherlands is unprepared in regards to knowledge of import duties and/or permits, this could hold up the process and cause headaches for the receiver. We strongly urge the receiver to contact the Dutch Customs Department for import duties and/or possible permits. It’s worth noting that import duty is paid by the receiver at pickup in the Netherlands.

Marine Insurance - Protecting Your Product

Marine insurance, while optional, is strongly recommended. You don’t want to risk damaging or losing your equipment during shipment, because, according to COGSA (Carriage of Goods by Sea Act) the person or company on the Bill of Lading is entitled to $500. For example, if a container that has product valued at $75,000 (USD) get lost or damaged, you don’t want to end up getting a $500 entitlement. Also, it’s wise to properly package your valuables prior to loading in the container as the ship tends to rock at sea. Though rare, damages do happen. The amount of marine insurance you will pay depends on the stated value of your product, which we can provide you with upon booking.
