Description topics

Imports
All goods imported into the free economic trade zone of the Netherlands
for use or consumption, i.e. if import duties and national taxes have
been paid. Imports also include goods imported temporarily into the
Netherlands which, by order of a non-resident, undergo treatment (active
finishing trade). The same applies to goods from outside the EU which
enter the free economic trade zone of the Netherlands through bonded
warehouses. The statistical value is the value of the goods at the moment
they cross the border. The value of goods imported from EU member states
includes freight and insurance charges up to the Dutch border. The value
of goods imported from countries outside the EU includes freight and
insurance charges up to the external borders of the EU.
Total imports
Exports
All goods initially imported into or manufactured in the Netherlands and
intended for use or consumption outside the Netherlands. Exports also
include goods temporarily exported from the Netherlands which, by order of
a Dutch resident living abroad, undergo treatment (passive finishing
trade). The value of exports includes freight and insurance charges up to
the Dutch border.
