Air Freight to the Netherlands

6 to 10 days door to door, depending on the US origin and available flight. The direct Miami–Europe air leg is about 8-9 hours; the rest is pickup, consolidation and customs clearance.

As a reference, shipments around 100 kg run about $6.80–$9.07/kg and around 500 kg about $2.20–$2.93/kg. These are indicative rates from public route calculators, not a firm quote: the final price depends on chargeable weight, urgency and cargo type.

Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS), which handled 1.43M tonnes in 2025, about 97% of all Dutch air cargo (Schiphol, 2025 cargo figures).

It clears through Dutch Customs (Douane) and an EU EORI number, under the same import VAT and TARIC rules used across the EU, with Schiphol acting as a gateway to the rest of Europe. We prepare the air waybill (AWB), commercial invoice and packing list, and coordinate clearance with Douane at both ends.

All kinds, but mostly urgent or high-value cargo: the Netherlands' flower, produce and flower-bulb export trade is one of the world's biggest users of air cargo.

Carriers only accept limited liability for loss or damage, capped per kilo or per package under international conventions, so the freight rate is not full cover. Cargo insurance is a separate policy based on the cargo value: under CIF and CIP the seller buys it, under other Incoterms the buyer decides. Tell us the cargo value when you request the quote and coverage is settled before booking.
