The Netherlands is one of Europe's most important garment and apparel import markets, serving both domestic consumption and as a distribution hub for the broader European market. Dutch garment importers source knitwear, sweaters, T-shirts, sportswear, men's and women's apparel, and other textile products from manufacturing countries across Asia, Turkey, and Europe. This page presents a directory of 13 Dutch garment importers and buyers — companies based in the Netherlands that import apparel and textile products for distribution in the Dutch and European markets.

Garment and apparel imports into the Netherlands are classified under two main HS chapters:
| HS Chapter | Description |
|---|---|
| Chapter 61 | Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted (sweaters, T-shirts, knitwear) |
| Chapter 62 | Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted (shirts, trousers, jackets, jeans) |
The Netherlands is one of the largest garment import markets in the European Union, with annual apparel imports exceeding $15-20 billion USD. The country's strategic location — with the Port of Rotterdam (Europe's largest port) and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (one of Europe's busiest cargo airports) — makes it a natural gateway for apparel imports into Europe. Many international fashion brands and retailers use the Netherlands as their European distribution hub.
The Netherlands imports garments from a wide range of countries, with the main suppliers including: China (largest by volume), Bangladesh (competitive pricing), Turkey (0% EU tariff advantage, fast delivery), Vietnam (growing supplier), India (traditional textiles), Cambodia, and EU countries (Italy, Germany, Portugal for premium items).
For garment exporters looking to expand beyond the Netherlands, we also provide garment importer directories for other European countries:

Do Turkish garment exporters have a tariff advantage in the Netherlands?
Yes. Under the Turkey-EU Customs Union, Turkish-made apparel products (HS Chapters 61-62) enter the Netherlands at 0% tariff. This gives Turkish garment manufacturers a significant competitive advantage compared to suppliers from China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and India, which face EU MFN tariffs of 6-12% on most apparel categories. This tariff advantage, combined with Turkey's geographic proximity and fast delivery times, makes Turkey an attractive supplier for Dutch garment importers.
