1CARGO-GENERATING PORT Antwerp is home to the largest integrated petrochemicals cluster in Europe, and the most diverse in the world. This creates strong demand for containerised and other freight transport.

The Port of Antwerp has particularly strong maritime-logistical-industrial links. They complement each other and involve the production, handling and transport of large volumes of freight.

The port is located 80 km inland, closest to the end customer. This makes it ideally placed for importing and exporting to and from all of North West Europe. Indeed, the majority of the cargo has its origin or final destination in the immediate hinterland.

Largest storage capacity of EuropeThe Port of Antwerp has more storage space than any other port in Europe. The majority of these warehouses are in the vicinity of the terminals, reducing pre- and post haulage. Its 6.1 million square metres (1360 acres) of covered storage capacity includes standard and refrigerated warehouses, extensive facilities for dangerous goods.

Highly skilled logistics service providersMore than 150,000 professionals work in and around the Port of Antwerp and have the experience and expertise to transport all types of cargo, including out-of-gauge and dangerous freight. Value-added logistics are an important part of their service offerings.

Transparent supply chainsThe Antwerp Port Community System (APCS) centralises all electronic systems for the exchange of data between all the supply chain players in and around the port, and between these players and the various authorities.Effective electronic data transfer supports cargo flows and offers full transparency of all links in your supply chain.

APCS enables electronic scheduling of barges and trucks at the container terminals. The e-desk simplifies the customs formalities on the export side.

2Do you want to import goods into the EU which do not yet have a final customs destination?The largest concentration of bonded warehouses in Europe, allowing customs duties and tax deferral. Thanks to our bonded warehousing system you can store the goods for an unlimited period; you don’t have to pay VAT and Customs dues until the goods have been delivered to your customer in the EU. In the meantime you are allowed to provide value-added services, processing the goods accord-ing to the requirements of your customer.

Do you import with the aim of processing in the EU for further export outside Europe?In that case you can make use of the Inward Processing procedure, under which payments of import duties and VAT are postponed.

Do you import goods into Europe on which the import duties are higher than on the end product?No problem: thanks to the Processing under Customs Supervision procedure you only have to pay the import duties and VAT on the end product.

Are you deterred by the high deposit that has to be paid on excise goods?No need: there is a cap on the excise deposit payable on goods imported into the EU.

Value added servicesNo matter how your cargo is shipped, it can be repacked in the desired format and all necessary value-added logistics services can be provided to meet your customer’s requirements. At container freight stations or in warehouses, containers are stuffed or stripped by specialised personnel. For oversized cargo in particular, this can be quite cost effective.

Perhaps you’re not familiar with customs procedures in Antwerp? No worries: the Antwerp logistics service providers know them intimately. Goods can be declared ahead of arrival (ATA – 8h) meaning delivery can be taken upon discharge.The cost-efficient procedures within the port mean that VAT, customs dues and excise don’t have to be paid immediately. Thanks to the customer-oriented customs procedures it is no longer necessary to pay a deposit in order to offset VAT payments for import flows.
