Market Access for German Supplement Industry

Duisburg handles psyllium imports through Duisburger Hafen, Europe's largest inland port. German supplement manufacturers source here because rail links connect directly to production facilities in North Rhine-Westphalia. The 90% grade enters duty-free under HS code 1211.90. Volume buyers prefer Duisburg over Hamburg because warehouse costs run 15-20% lower. Most shipments clear customs in 48 hours. The port processes about 180 container loads of psyllium annually for the EU supplement sector. Buyers consolidate orders here before distribution to Netherlands and Belgium markets.
