J. van de Put Fresh Cargo Handling B.V.

New to importing – now what?

You are planning to start importing. 3 easy steps will ensure that everything will go smoothly, from your first import shipment onwards!

1. Make agreements with the supplier of your product

You have found a supplier you would like to buy your product from. You make agreements on the price of the product and on delivery terms. It is useful to look in detail at standardized delivery terms in terms of transport, so-called Incoterms. In this way you will prevent surprises with regard to who is paying for what in the logistics chain, and where risks are being transferred.

2. Become one of J. van de Put's customers

You will have to be a customer of J. van de Put even before you have your first shipment imported. This way we will be familiar with all your details, enabling us to process the goods, have them cleared and deliver them to you. To become one of our customers you will need to provide the following details:

• Company details (company name, postal address, telephone number, e-mail)
• Delivery address details
• VAT number
• EORI number (you can find this out from the Belastingdienst)
• Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number
• Currency in which you wish to be invoiced (EUR €/ USD $)

We strongly recommend becoming a customer of J. van de Put at least 3 days prior to your first shipment being delivered in Europe.

3. Operational matters

Now, everything is ready for processing and clearance of your import shipments. If you have any operational queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
