Semi Knock Down concept

By using the unique Semi Knock Down concept of Ahead International your organization is able to save money without any effort from your side. The SKD concept allows you to import your consumer electronics into Europe against a 3% duty fee instead of the regular 14% percent, resulting in a direct saving up to 11% on import duties for your organization.

To make your products suitable for the 3% regulation AHEAD International will finalize your products in the Netherlands. The SKD fee of AHEAD International* can easily be compensated with the 11% duty savings your company is gaining. This makes that the SKD concept will save your company a significant amount of money starting at a unit price of $20,-. Please review the below diagrams to see how high the savings can be for your product or product range.

The SKD concept offers besides the significant duty advantage a couple of side benefits. Your product will be finalized in the Netherlands which allows you to sell your product with the Netherlands as place of manufacturing. On top of that all your products will be delivered FOB Holland to your distributor in Europe.

*The SKD fee of AHEAD International depends on the type of product. Every product requires an individual assessment to estimate how many minutes it will take to finalize your product. The SKD fee is calculated based on the minutes required. Please do not hesitate to provide us with your organization specific demands and we will propose a tailor-made solution.
