Shipping from India to Europe
Through our Amsterdam office, Gxpress clears India-origin cargo into the EU at Rotterdam and Schiphol, then distributes it across Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and the wider union by road within 24–48 hours.
For non-EU sellers we provide fiscal representation and VAT deferment under the Dutch Article 23 licence — a major cash-flow advantage — plus pan-EU Amazon FBA injection.

India to Europe — frequently asked questions
Which EU country is best to clear customs in?
For most India-origin cargo the Netherlands is the most efficient entry point: Rotterdam’s port capacity, Schiphol’s air connections, and the Dutch VAT deferment scheme mean faster clearance and better cash flow than clearing in most other member states.
Can I sell on Amazon Germany or France without an EU company?
Yes — with our IOR/EOR and fiscal representation services you can import into the EU and inject inventory into Amazon DE, FR, IT, ES and NL without establishing a local entity.
How fast is delivery within Europe after clearance?
Once cleared at Rotterdam or Schiphol, road distribution reaches Germany, Belgium and France in 24–48 hours and most of the rest of the EU within 72 hours.
