From the Pearl River Delta to the Gateway of Europe, your perfume only needs a professional partner. The Netherlands, home to Europe’s largest port—the Port of Rotterdam—is truly the “Gateway to Europe.” 

Every year, tens of thousands of containers are distributed from here to Germany, France, Belgium and other EU countries. For perfume exporters, the Netherlands is not only a target market but also a springboard to the whole of Europe.

However, perfume is not ordinary cargo. As Class 3 Flammable Liquid Dangerous Goods (UN 1266), it faces many difficulties in sea freight export: limited booking space, strict inspections, high packaging requirements and complicated customs clearance. 

Many sellers have their goods detained, returned or even fined heavily at ports due to lack of knowledge about dangerous goods procedures.

Andaxun International Logistics has focused on dangerous goods sea freight for over 10 years. From Guangzhou, Dongguan, Shenzhen to Rotterdam and Amsterdam in the Netherlands, we provide a full-chain service covering FCL/LCL, booking, customs declaration, tax-inclusive double clearance and door-to-door delivery. We make perfume export not only smooth but also stable.
