Netherlands Market Access — Now Duty Free
The Netherlands serves as Europe's primary re-export hub. Rotterdam, the EU's largest port, handles Indian psyllium for distribution across Western Europe. Dutch companies re-process and re-pack Indian psyllium for EU retail markets. With the EU FTA, duty-free access enhances the Netherlands' position as the gateway for Indian psyllium into Europe.
