CABLEROAD.
YOUR FAST LANE TO EU MARKETS
what we do
VAT representation, Importer of Record services and resolving any other issues you may face getting your goods into the EU.
If you’re a global entrepreneur selling goods into the EU, your time is precious. You don’t want VAT or customs issues slowing you down. Paperwork slowing your people down. And you certainly don’t want your money tied up in cash VAT payments.
So move into the fast lane with Cableroad. We have the licences, expertise and local connections to speed you past every obstacle. With us as your VAT representative, you can focus on your business goals, while we keep your goods moving – fast.
Cableroad is based in the port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, the European union’s key logistics hub and your most efficient point of entry into the vast EU market.
our base
Right where you need us
The Netherlands is one of only three EU countries that offer import free of VAT (article 23 regime).
Whether your goods arrive by ship in Rotterdam or Amsterdam, or by air at Schiphol Airport, Cableroad’s people are on hand to move your shipment forward. We actively engage with local authorities and service providers to fast-track you past any problems.
We operate from Rotterdam, with a further office in Amsterdam and a contact hub for our Asian clients in Brisbane.
VAT DEFERMENT
Importing goods into the EU via the Netherlands costs you 0% VAT on balance. But that involves paying 21% on entry and getting your money back many months later. Unless you open an EU subsidiary. Or – less investment, less fuss – leave it to Cableroad. We ensure you don’t have to pay VAT up front. A considerable cash flow benefit!
VAT REPRESENTATION
When you choose Cableroad, you choose experience. We’ve been a licenced VAT representative since 2014, serving non-EU clients from a wide variety of industries. Following a speedy intake – within 24 hours if needed – we handle the entire VAT administration for you.
Plus whatever related services you need
At Cableroad, going the extra mile is in our DNA. Over the years, as our clients faced different issues, we’ve expanded our services to support them. From handling customs and chasing lost shipments to filing CBAM reports. We create seamless solutions for you, using our own solid expertise plus our extensive network of local partners – law firms, warehousing partners and logistics companies, for example.
THE SECTORS WE SERVE
Though VAT administration is similar for all importers into the EU, the broader issues around passing and clearing customs certainly are not. Shelf life, excise duty, or the sheer dimensions of some shipments are factors that can pile on complexity. Cut straight through that complexity with Cableroad. We’re already at home in a range of sectors including
Fashion
Aviation
Bulk
Pharmaceuticals
Your business – whatever it is, we make it our business to understand what’s needed to get your goods moving – fast.

Cableroad charges market rates for its services and reasonable hourly rates for extras. Your savings on personnel and other costs will always exceed our bill.
