Zenlar Logistics runs a licensed Type A bonded warehouse near the Port of Rotterdam, combining customs clearance, multimodal freight forwarding and B2B fulfilment for wholesale importers moving consumer and non-consumer goods through Europe's largest port.
Connected to the Port of Rotterdam's main container terminals
A licensed bonded warehouse and customs brokerage in one location, built for importers and 3PL customers who need duty and VAT suspended until goods actually move.
Store non-EU goods under a Type A bonded warehouse licence at our facility in Hellevoetsluis, close to the Port of Rotterdam. Duties and import VAT stay suspended while cargo is in bonded storage, freeing up working capital for wholesale trading operations.
Our licensed customs brokers handle import declarations, export formalities, and T1 transit documents, so cargo moves through Dutch and EU customs without delays at the border.
We prepare preferential origin documents — EUR.1, ATR and Certificates of Origin — and coordinate veterinary and phytosanitary inspections for food, agricultural and animal-origin shipments.
Multimodal transport built around the Port of Rotterdam gateway: sea, road and rail, plus warehouse-side handling that keeps cargo moving without unnecessary dwell time.
We manage FCL and LCL sea freight through Rotterdam's container terminals, from vessel discharge to bonded storage or direct onward distribution.
Door-to-door road haulage and rail connections link our Rotterdam warehouse to destinations across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the wider EU, as part of a full multimodal transport chain.
Cross-dock shipments, consolidate multiple suppliers into single loads, or break down bulk containers into smaller consignments — all handled inside the same bonded facility.
Warehouse operations built for wholesale distributors: consumer and non-consumer goods handling, stock control, and the fiscal setup that lets non-Dutch traders sell through the Netherlands.
Value-added services inside the warehouse — labelling, stickering, repackaging and palletizing — prepare wholesale consignments for their next destination, retail-ready or transit-ready.
Real-time stock visibility and pick-and-pack fulfilment let wholesale buyers order directly from bonded or duty-paid stock, without holding inventory themselves.
As fiscal representative, we let non-Dutch companies import, store and trade goods through the Netherlands without a local VAT registration, using our licence and Article 23 permit.
A single bonded facility, one point of contact, and the customs and tax structure that wholesale importers need to trade efficiently through the Netherlands.
Our warehouse in Hellevoetsluis sits minutes from the Port of Rotterdam and its ECT, RWG and APMT terminals, shortening the route between vessel discharge and bonded storage.
Through our Article 23 licence, import VAT is deferred to the periodic VAT return instead of being paid upfront at customs, improving cash flow for wholesale trade volumes.
A modern WMS platform tracks every pallet in and out of bonded storage, backed by access-controlled, monitored facilities that safeguard cargo as a licensed 3PL provider.
