Sourcing agent in China for businesses in Netherlands

Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe, which gives Dutch importers excellent logistics access. The harder part is vetting factories on the other side, and that is where we come in.

  2. Receive your sourcing report

    Within 5 to 10 days: vetted suppliers with prices, minimum orders, lead times and sample options.

  3. Choose the next step

    Order directly, or have us negotiate, inspect and coordinate shipping to you in Netherlands.

Good to know before importing into Netherlands

Rotterdam first

Most Asia to Europe services call at Rotterdam, giving you many sailing options.

VAT deferment

Dutch importers can apply for an Article 23 license to defer import VAT, which helps cash flow.

CE is not a sticker

Many factories print CE marks without the testing behind them. For buyers in Netherlands, we ask for real reports and flag anything that looks copied.
