Port of Antwerp 7
The main current intermodal flows run between the Benelux countries (with significant volumes to and from Antwerp as a main hub for the chemical industry), Germany, Northern Italy and Great Britain.CEFIC, European Chemical Industry CouncilSource: Cefic, Intermodal Transport Network Development (Report)
Antwerp, European external borderAll customs and VAT formalities can be done in Antwerp for destinations located in any of the 28 member states of the European Customs Union.The same customs regulations, cus-toms duties, rules of origin, quotas etc. apply throughout this area.
Efficient customs services5
Import and export proceduresImport into EuropeNo delay, thanks to paperless procedures: Goods can be declared ahead of arrival of the container ship and in most cases the containers can be collected when they are offloaded.”Fiscal representation” for VAT formalities is offered by many logistics or customs service companies in Antwerp.In bonded warehouses and silos at the Port of Antwerp, the goods can be stored whilst deferring payment of VAT and custom duties until the
goods have been delivered to the end customer in the EU.In the meantime, value-added services and processing of the goods can take place with the service providers of the Antwerp region.
Advantages No VAT prefinancing Increased cash-flow
Export from Europe A free web application simplifies the customs formalities for containers exported from the EU through the Port of Antwerp.

The European chemical plastics market is a very large market. European customers expect packaging to be adapted to their needs, making this continent a difficult market to supply. As well as products being delivered to customers in bags on pallets, there is also a very large bulk (silo truck) market between Antwerp, Southern Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Northern France. Certain customers require specific packaging such as octabins or big bags.
RESINS AND POWDER STORAGE AND HANDLING
Debulking and rebulking are typical Antwerp port activities The maritime containers are emptied and the product reloaded into the most cost-effective transport size, taking into account payload optimisation per destination and per transport mode.
Palletised non-dangerous powders and resins have huge opportunities for cost-effective storage in the port of Antwerp general warehouses.In fact, the Antwerp region offers no less than 6.1 million square metres of general (covered) warehousing. The specialist companies mentioned in this brochure offer specialist equipment to handle bulk and repacking requirements. These companies can also offer higher levels of support, helping their principals to develop relations with customers by increasing flexibility of packaging
and transport, thus meeting the needs of new customers or additional applications.Late-stage customisation is possible as well as specific handling of chemical powders and resins. Some example of specialised equipment available at these companies are: hoppers, big bag filling lines, bagging operations, silos, bag slitting machines, blending equipment, tilting platforms, and machines for purging, drying, sieving, de-dusting and optical cleaning. Several silo truck cleaning stations are located in the Antwerp port area.

Operation Clean Sweep © Preventing pellet lossAntwerp is the main polymer hub in Europe for handling and distribution of plastic pellets. Every year, millions of pellets find their way via Antwerp to other hubs worldwide. Preventing these small plastic pellets getting into the water is a top priority. Manufacturing industry, logistics operators and the transport sector have put their weight behind “Operation Clean Sweep.” Operation Clean Sweep© is an international programme supported by PlasticsEurope,
with the aim of preventing plastic materials getting into the marine environment. Antwerp is the first port in Europe to sign up for the programme.
