What we do

International Purchasing & Procurement

We purchase goods for or on behalf of non-EU companies throughout the Netherlands and Europe.

By acting as your purchasing partner, we simplify the procurement process, coordinate directly with suppliers, and ensure your goods are ready for export in full compliance with European regulations. Whether you require one-off purchases or ongoing procurement support, we provide an efficient and reliable solution tailored to your business.

Importer & Exporter of Record (IOR/EOR)

As your neutral Importer and Exporter of Record, we enable non-EU companies to import into and export from the European Union without establishing a European legal entity.

We manage customs formalities, import and export declarations, and ensure full compliance with Dutch and European customs regulations.

VAT-Free Purchasing

When purchasing goods Ex Works (EXW) within Europe, suppliers are generally required to charge local VAT.

By purchasing and exporting the goods on your behalf as the Exporter of Record, we can facilitate VAT-efficient transactions where applicable, helping you avoid unnecessary VAT costs and administrative complexity.

Customs & Compliance

Our specialists manage customs procedures, import duties, VAT administration, and communication with the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration, ensuring your shipments move smoothly and compliantly.

From supplier to final destination, we arrange worldwide transportation by road, sea, and air.
