The Netherlands has an impressive logistics tradition. In the 17th century, also known as Holland’s Golden Age, Dutch merchants established an international reputation for themselves as leading international traders, a reputation that continues to this day. The many companies operating in the Dutch logistics sector today have an expertise second to none.
The Netherlands is centrally situated in Western Europe and has ideal preconditions for optimising logistics activities, such as a skilled, fl exible and multilingual labour force, logistics expertise, new and innovative logistics development plans and favourable Customs and tax procedures. All these, combined with low overall supply-chain costs, make the Netherlands an ideal gateway to Europe. The country hosts two advanced and innovative main ports, the Port of Rotterdam and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, both of which are major world distribution hubs. Culturally, the bustling city of Amsterdam offers everything you may long for.
1. Over 400 years of logistics expertise
Over 400 years
Global freight forwarders and express carriers consider The Netherlands as one of the best countries in European logistics performance.
When looked at individually, The Netherlands has the highest score globally for customs performance, infrastructure, international shipments and logistics competence.
This leading position is also refl ected in the fact that half of all American and Asian distribution centres on the European continent are located in the Netherlands.

A skilled and fl exible workforce
The Netherlands has one of the most skilled and productive labour pools in Europe. The country’s labour market is far more fl exible than that in surrounding countries. This is because of the fairly extensive use of temporary personnel in the Netherlands and the relatively fl exible nature of Dutch employment contracts.
The Dutch are a multilingual people. More than 90 percent of the population speaks at least one foreign language. As a matter of fact, the Dutch have a better working knowledge of English than any other nationality on the European continent. Approximately one-third speak three languages and more than 10 percent speak more than three.

Advanced digital infrastructure
The Amsterdam Airport Area is way ahead in the fi eld of data transport and information distribution, with the world’s largest Internet hub in terms of traffi c and members. The presence of this Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX) was one of the main reasons for IT giant Cisco to establish its European headquarters in Amsterdam. Most AAA business parks are linked to excellent high-speed fi bre-optic networks.
Dedicated logistics training
More than 60,000 people are directly employed at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol or in the immediate vicinity. And almost one-quarter of them work in the logistics industry. Cooperating public and private partners have recently set up a number of training and educational initiatives in the logistics fi eld. The immediate aim of these initiatives is to enlarge and improve the logistics labour market and make it future proof. Furthermore, many staffi ng, recruitment and temping agencies have branches at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol that provide trained and experienced staff to the sector.
In certain cases, companies can distribute goods via the Netherlands without being subject to Dutch corporate income tax. However, if a company is subject to Dutch taxation, it is important to know that the Netherlands’ tax regime is one of the most differentiated and flexible in the EU and one which stimulates entrepreneurship and foreign investment.
Over the past few years, the Netherlands government has reduced the corporate tax rate to a maximum of 25.5%, which is below that of its European neighbours. The Netherlands has a far-reaching tax-treaty network and allows advanced tax rulings. In addition, a 30% expat tax ruling makes it attractive to work and live in the Netherlands.
With respect to Customs procedures and Value-Added Tax (VAT), the logistics sector benefi ts from favourable legislation and the logistics-friendly attitude of the Dutch authorities. The Dutch VAT regime is highly appreciated by the logistics sector since it waives VAT payments on goods being imported via the Netherlands.
3. Favourable tax climate
Favourable
tax climate
Some examples of Dutch taxation, Customs systems and procedures that relate specifi cally to the logistics sector: • Customs-bonded warehousing
• VAT-deferment system
• Highly automated customs procedures
Customs-bonded warehousing
In principle, Customs duties are due when goods are imported into the EU. However, if the goods are stored in a Customs-bonded warehouse, the payment of Customs duties can be postponed. The moment the goods are shipped out of the warehouse, the Custom duties become due. In case of goods being shipped to non-EU destinations, the payment of duties can be avoided completely. Using a Customs-bonded warehouse delivers cash-fl ow advantages to foreign shippers and permits centralised Customs compliance.
VAT-deferment system
In contrast to most other EU Member States, the Netherlands has instituted a system that provides for the deferment of VAT at the time of import. Instead of paying VAT when the goods are imported for free circulation within the EU, the payment can be deferred to a periodic VAT return. Under this system, the VAT at import must be declared but the amount can be deducted on the same return. The bottom line is that there is no actual payment of VAT at import, allowing companies to realise cashfl ow and interest-earning benefi ts.
Highly automated Customs procedures
Dutch Customs authorities use computerised clearance systems that speed up the fl ow of cargo. As a result of unifi ed and standardised documentation across the EU, approval time is minimised and costly delays eliminated. Simplifying and centralising Customs compliance is widely implemented in the Netherlands. Customs compliance can be dealt with on a periodical basis, meaning that goods can be shipped to the fi nal destination while the Customs declaration can be fi led afterwards.
The Amsterdam Airport Area comprises all industrial and office locations at and around Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, including parts of the City of Amsterdam, Port of Amsterdam, Almere and Lelystad.
The region is situated in the centre of the major European markets of Germany, France and the UK. Access to the commercial and industrial hearts of these markets, such as London, Paris, Brussels, Frankfurt and Hamburg, as well as Germany’s Ruhr Valley, is fast and easy as they are all served by numerous daily fl ights, train services, waterways, or road transport. Eighty percent of the European Union’s spending power can be reached by truck from Amsterdam within 24 hours.

Schiphol Group gives priority to expanding Amsterdam Airport Schiphol’s intercontinental passenger and cargo network and to developing a network of cargo connections with suffi cient capacity to serve all the world’s economic regions. It is joined in this mission by carriers Air France-KLM and Martinair, as well as by several other global network carriers.
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol evaluates its mainport network in terms of destinations, the frequency with which they are served, capacity offered (main and lower deck) and options available (number of carriers). The airport favours quieter aircraft and takes a highly selective approach to night-time traffi c based on the available noise capacity.
Home carriers Air France-KLM Cargo and Martinair only operate the latest generation of Boeing aircrafts. Therefore, the proportion of noisy aircraft has fallen by 60%, signifi cantly reducing the demand for noise budget capacity.
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol aims to stand out not only with its attractive business climate but also in terms of the process quality of specifi c cargo fl ows. The airport plans to:
• be competitive in terms of costs
• ensure minimum processing times for goods
• create an environment that offers potential for growth for its home carrier (passengers and cargo)
• create a single Customs area with all the associated facilities
• set up a plan for strategic cooperation with Customs
• deploy cost-effective process security • implement the latest technologies
• involve stakeholders in infrastructural developments • promote transparency in airport operations using Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs).
This calls for additional measures in a number of areas with a focus on the following six aspects:
1. Cargo area
• 525,000 m2 of cargo warehouses, of which 60% with direct air side access
• airside access for logistic service providers
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol 2009:
FACTS & FIGURES
• 5th European passenger airport (43.6 million passengers)
• 3rd European cargo airport (1.29 million tonnes)
• 284 scheduled airline destinations in over 90 countries
• 90 scheduled airlines, of which 25 scheduled full freighters
• the highest share of (non-integrator) main deck capacity in Europe
• 391,264 air-transport movements in 2009 • an area exclusively dedicated to cargo • 25 dedicated full freighter stands
• 5 major runways (from 3,400 – 3,800 metres) • fully equipped to handle multiple A380s &

2. Accessibility and local connections
• Multimodal developments;
• The innovative initiative called SmartGate Cargo; • Amsterdam Connecting Trade (ACT).
3. Facilities in cargo areas
The emphasis is on improving cost structures, speed, quality, innovation and sustainability by implementing new technologies.
4. Security and inspection methods
Streamlining the process
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol aims to streamline its logistics processes by reducing processing times for cargo, increasing process transparency and ensuring high levels of reliability.
Customs
Customs at Schiphol is not only an agency that enforces rules, but they are also a customer facing partner in efforts to speed up air cargo processes (guarantee), reduce costs and eliminate nuisance and red tape (paper checks). One of the initiatives in this field is the introduction of “green lanes”, a concept that will allow properly certified shippers to cross the EU’s outer borders without physical Customs inspections.
5. ICT developments
These developments will ensure that the spatial logistics process at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol achieves best-in-class status.
• The Customs Goods Tracking System (Douane Goederen Volg Systeem, DGVS) allows for a fast and paperless transfer of (Customs) shipments between cargo sheds at and around Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
• The E-Freight/Cargo2000/MIP –initiatives share goals in simplifying and applying the best possible practices in the cargo process.
• Pre-arrival and pre-departure information is processed for risk-analysis purposes.
• Seamless integration of security checks into operational processes.
• Switch from barcodes to RFID (Radio Frequency Identification).
• Linking systems such as WMS (Warehouse Management System) with the accounting system, DGVS and the flight manifests to promote process integration.
6. Spatial quality
Architecture, urban development and the layout of public spaces all contribute to the identifiability, quality and character of the airport.
At present 95% of the world’s air cargo is transported by road, which means that good connections with the road network at and around Amsterdam Airport Schiphol are essential. A range of initiatives has been launched to improve the accessibility of the Amsterdam Airport Area by road even further. In addition a multimodal system is being developed which in the future may substitute road and air transport to European key areas such as Paris, London and Frankfurt in the near future.
Road
The Netherlands has an extensive and dense national road network that links it to all other European countries. All major business locations in AAA are linked by a modern and efficient road system. In the near future both motorways and secondary roads from the Schiphol Area will be extended, widened
or upgraded. And transport to, for instance, the Amsterdam Port, to Flora Holland or to the southern part of The Netherlands will be more efficient and easier than it already is.
Rail
The High-Speed Railway Line (HSL), which serves both Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and the City of Amsterdam, travels in just a few hours to other major European business hubs such as Brussels and Paris. (Brussels 1h30 and Paris in just 3 hours.)
At the same time public and private partners have formed the High-Speed Train Cargo Schiphol Association (HST Cargo) in order to stimulate the development of HST cargo in the Schiphol region. This railway network for the future transport of air cargo by high-speed train into the rest of Europe utilises the HSL infrastructure. Currently cooperation with
6. Multimodal hub
similar initiatives around Paris, Liège, Lyon and London are taking place. In the near future cooperation with initiatives in Northern Italy and Spain will take place as well in order to further optimize the European network. Advantages of the High-Speed Freight Train include its environmental soundness, reliability, speed and its ability to deliver freight straight into regional economic centres. It will create a new business connection between the freight networks of Air France and FEDEX in Paris and KLM at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Business operations are expected to start from 2015.
Water
The Port of Amsterdam is just 15 minutes away from the Amsterdam Airport Area. For many companies, this is of key importance when locating their concentrated logistics activities and makes the Amsterdam Airport Area a particularly attractive option. For the Amsterdam Ports (Amsterdam, Zaanstad, Beverwijk and IJmuiden), 2009 was another good year. Together these ports trans-shipped over 86.7 million tonnes of goods. What’s more, the Port of Rotterdam, which is one of the world’s largest ports and the biggest in Europe, is only an hour’s drive away from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Possibilities for developing an inland water terminal for the onward transport of goods on inland vessels are currently being studied. The planned location of the water terminal is on the belt canal (Ringvaart) which is
connected to the Schiphol Logistics Park. This location was chosen because of existing navigational courses to both Amsterdam and Rotterdam. It is also relatively conveniently located for handling deliveries from Flora Holland. One potential customer of this new facility is AMSbarge, an initiative for developing container transport in the Amsterdam region by inland waterway connections. A ship with its own loading and unloading facilities has been operational since 2006 and it sails directly to a large number of industrial zones in the Amsterdam region. There will be daily connections with the deep-sea terminals in Antwerp, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. In addition, a number of short-sea and inland destinations are within easy reach, including the Ruhr Valley region, Basel in Switzerland, the Baltic States and Northern Spain.
Public Transport
Regional public transport is fast and effi cient and is being upgraded constantly to remain an excellent transport alternative for local and regional destinations. For example, Amsterdam is currently building a new city metro system, the North-South Subway Line that will be ready by 2017, providing a quick connection from the city centre to the Amsterdam Zuidas.
The Zuidtangent, a bus system with dedicated lanes, links areas in the west of AAA to the airport and continues further east into Amsterdam, providing fast and effi cient alternatives to road travel.
Multimodal hub
19 18
The Amsterdam Airport Area is home to several industrial and commercial clusters that have chosen to establish themselves prominently in the region because of its mercantile traditions, expertise, know-how and logistics credentials.
Amsterdam Airport Area partners are working together to further strengthen its international competitive position by developing innovative and sustainable concepts with industry and logistics service providers. These efforts are aimed at creating an optimised supply chain that will be unique in Europe and which will yield further savings of time and money. It will also spawn spin-offs in other areas of these clusters in administration, knowledge and education. Focus clusters located in the Amsterdam Airport Area include aerospace, perishables, fashion, high tech and health.
7.1 Aerospace
The Amsterdam Airport Area is a leading and innovative European aerospace hub that focuses on:
• Logistics and supply-chain solutions • MRO
• Headquarter and Marketing & Sales offices • Training facilities and education centres • General Aviation
KLM E&M is one of the world’s largest aircraft-maintenance companies affiliated with an airline and is a leader in engine maintenance and spare-engine provision. Moreover, leading aerospace companies like Aviall, Pratt & Whitney Canada and GE Aviation Materials have their European distribution facilities in the Amsterdam Airport Area.
The region is also becoming an aerospace knowledge centre with high-quality engineering and aviation education and knowledge centres in the direct vicinity of the airport. With the arrival of companies like CAE and Flight Simulation Company (FSC), Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is fast becoming an aviation training hub. Recently Bombardier Aerospace chose to establish its new European Service Center for it’s business jets at the Aerospace Exchange at Schiphol East. Bombardier aerospace, the world’s 3rd aircraft manufacturer, preferred Amsterdam Airport Schiphol over many other European Airports as the best location for this facility.
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol wants to further
consolidate co-operation and innovation in this cluster by developing an Aerospace Exchange initiative at Schiphol East.
7.2 Perishables
Large volumes of perishables are transported via and through Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Sixty percent of all flowers traded across the world are imported and/ or exported through this major hub. Many are flown in from Africa and South America and in turn transported as air cargo to other continents such as North America and Asia. Flora Holland Aalsmeer is only a few minutes’ drive from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. It forms the centre of the international flower trade. Its close link to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol makes it possible for some flowers that pass through the auction in the morning to be on sale that same evening in New York or be bought by customers in Tokyo the following morning.
Approximately 5,400 specialised producers supply ornamental plants to the auction every day; these in turn are bought by 1100 wholesalers and exporters. Within a few hours products can be exported to almost every country in the world.
7. Key clusters in the
7.3 Fashion
The supply chain in the fashion industry is changing. Ever more seasons make air cargo an important factor for a sector that is experiencing rapid growth in the Amsterdam Airport Area. The region has two big multi-tenant landmarks: Fashion Centre Amsterdam and Brandboxx Almere. These centres house the showrooms of companies and brands, allowing them to exhibit their collections to a broad public of purchasers and other interested parties. The advantage of these locations is that they embody the one-stop-shop concept, making them true purchasing and information centres for retailers in the Dutch fashion sector.
The Amsterdam Airport Area is the Fashion Gateway to Europe. Goods are flown in from all over the world and find their way to customers in Europe. Established fashion & design companies in the Amsterdam Airport Area include Adidas, Bestseller, Björn Borg, Blue Blood, G-star, Gucci Group, Hugo Boss, Mexx/Liz Claiborne, Next in Line, Sixty, Tommy Hilfiger and many others.
7.4 High Tech
The growth in air cargo volumes to and from Europe is evident in virtually every product group. The fast-growing high-tech sector, a sector in which Amsterdam Airport Schiphol enjoys a higher-than-average share, offers particularly attractive prospects. Many logistics service providers have dedicated high-tech logistics centres in the Amsterdam Airport Area. For example, DSV operates a 15,000-m² centre for high-tech companies like Oracle, while Intel has its 20,000-m² EDC here. Besides, Seagate and Western Digital have also substantial facilities in the region.
7.5 Medtech
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is situated between two major science centres, both a mere 20 minutes’ drive from the airport. The Amsterdam Science Park and the Leiden Bio Science Park are very successful European developments dedicated to science, bio-tech and pharma. They host a large number of biomedical, life-science and pharma companies, several multinationals and internationally acclaimed knowledge institutions. Centocor, for example, has its European headquarters and R&D centre at Leiden Bio Science Park and its dedicated logistics centre at Schiphol-Rijk. Like Centocor, Bausch & Lomb, Idexx and Corning also have their European logistics operations here.

Amsterdam Connecting Trade (ACT)
Strategically situated in the Amsterdam Airport Area, and right near the heart of Amsterdam, the business parks designed under the Amsterdam Connecting Trade flag stand for the highest efficient level in transport by rail, road, air and water by accommodating the full gamut of logistics and related companies including a dedicated link for cargo to airside.
ACT goes one step further than ‘traditional’ logistics by offering logistics enterprises an arena for mutual support and reinforcement. ACT’s business parks can accommodate a wide array of different logistics activities, as well as related services such as marketing, research and training. This is how ACT brings
knowledge, goods and information together. The sites are potentially the most innovative and sustainable business locations for logistics companies in Europe. What Silicon Valley is to the IT industry, ACT will be to the logistics sector: for any company in the logistics world – no matter how big or small – or any company dependent on the logistics world (air-cargo users in the fashion, high-tech, fresh, medical sectors, etc.), this is the place to be. In fact, this is the place they will have to be in order to ensure success on the
international market. ACT explicitly envisions a target group encompassing more than just forwarding agents and integrators – ACT is aiming “beyond logistics” to engage parties whose activities will add value. Martinair, Menzies, Panalpina, Rhenus Logistics, Ceva Logistics, Menzies and Swissport Cargo Services are examples of companies that already made a choice for ACT.
ACT offers
• Space for a wide array of different logistics activities, as well as for related services such as marketing, research and education.
• Sustainable solutions in designing the ACT locations, with consideration for aspects such as energy, public transport and waste management.
• A seamless logistics link for cargo traffic caters for fast and direct access to airside.

Schiphol Smartgate Cargo
Another innovative initiative is SmartGate Cargo
which aims at a safe and fast cargo process by close collaboration between public and private parties (Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the branche representative Air Cargo Netherlands and the Dutch Customs Administration) allowing for an ever more rapid and efficient clearance. It involves intensive forms of co-operation between the private sector and government agencies responsible for enforcing border crossing legislation by integrating the monitoring of goods leaving the European Union from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. This is done by means of:
• Location
Cargo areas at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol • Customs Control Centre
Central supply of (pre-)information and central control • Cargo Checkpoint
Registration and selection of cargo movements • Flows
Red versus green cargo flows • One-stop-shop
Central control moment for all red cargo flows • Maximum safety
Continuous supervision of cargo flows
SmartGate Cargo is an ongoing process. The Customs Control Centre, which is a central helpdesk for customers of customs services, has recently been realised. The Cargo Checkpoint pilot project was launched on 21 September 2010, in which various monitoring and inspection procedures are integrated in a single monitoring procedure.
Schiphol SmartGate Cargo includes the ‘Information Broker’ system developed by Cargonaut, allowing for both the aviation sector and government bodies to determine whether a shipment will require inspection at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in advance on the basis of electronic predeparture and pre-arrival information. Currently investigations are executed for the possibilities of a truck parking ramp included with a
truck buffer ramp within the perimeters of Amsterdam Connecting Trade (ACT). The truck buffer zone accommodates trucks not only from the white lane but also from the red lane, for example in case congestion in the scanning area occurs.
