- The Netherlands has customs free zones and free/bonded warehouses used for storage, cargo consolidation and reconfiguration of non-EU (non-Union) goods, with suspension/deferral of import duties while goods remain in the zone. Per the U.S. State Department, the Netherlands has NO free trade zones or free ports where commodities can be processed or reprocessed tax-free; the zones serve bonded storage and logistics rather than startup/tech operations. There are no startup-specific special economic zones; startups instead rely on national tax incentives (e.g. WBSO, Innovation Box, 30% ruling).
