We’re Celebrating A Decade of NLD Customs!

Here’s to many more years of teamwork and trust!

NLD’s General Manager, Boudewijn, sums it up perfectly: “For a decade, we’ve handled customs matters for so many clients, and earning their trust as a reliable partner has been our biggest win. But what really makes me proud is the way our team works together and the bond we’ve built with our clients. That trust is at the heart of every partnership. A big thank you to our employees, clients, and partners for sticking with us. It’s our team’s dedication that keeps clients coming back.”

Missing in the picture—but definitely a big part of the team—are Nathalie, Milad, Kikki, Kirsten, Sami, and our new colleague Lorijn, who’ll be starting next week!

In this interview, Boudewijn reflects on what it means for NLD to celebrate 10 years. “I’m incredibly proud that we’ve had the privilege of handling customs matters for so many clients. Earning their trust as a reliable partner is our greatest achievement. I’m also deeply thankful to Michael de Rouw for giving me the opportunity and support from day one. Together, we embarked on this entrepreneurial journey, and it’s been an incredible experience. I’d also like to thank the rest of the MT Team for their collaboration and contributions. They have been a big part of this journey too.”

When asked about the biggest milestones NLD has achieved, Boudewijn explains, “It’s difficult to pinpoint one specific moment. What stands out to me is our ability to treat every client with the same level of dedication, regardless of their size. Over the years, we’ve noticed that many clients start cautiously, testing the waters, but as time goes on, they entrust us with more and more work. That gradual increase in trust speaks volumes.”

Reflecting on what makes him most proud, Boudewijn says, “It’s the combination of the synergy within our team and the strong relationships we’ve built with our clients. That sense of trust is something we’ve worked hard to establish, and it’s what truly sets us apart.”

Looking forward, Boudewijn shares his vision for the future: “We hope to continue growing steadily, expanding our client base while nurturing our fantastic team of declarants. Our goal is to make sure everyone at NLD feels at home and valued.”
