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.
