We’re an EU-based supplier of US-made extracts, among other things. We import these products through the Netherlands without any headaches or delays on a regular basis using our own customs agents. We usually import US products on a 2-3 working days lead time, including customs clearance, for essentially any (legal) extracts.
We normally supply extracts from our own manufacturing partners. Some of our clients have their preferred manufacturers in the US, and we can import whatever raw materials they wish from their preferred suppliers, on demand.
From our experience, clients in Europe would rather buy US products from a EU company that handles all the imports, and pay a premium for it, rather than dealing with imports, headaches and delays on their own. Customs are often unpredictable in the EU depending on the point of entry, among other things. They still get better prices than buying from EU-based manufacturers without any of the import problems. If that’s something of interest feel free to drop me a message.

On the cbd line
Interesting stuff and things have changed here over the past month, new stringent cbd laws wiping out a lot of the grey area cbd stuff being sold

I worked for a logistics company where I focused on shipping around the world.
Switzerland: One of the more lenient Country’s due to their customs and custom broker relations and not to mention their higher THC levels. I have sent 100,000s of lbs of hemp flower, 10,000s of lbs of CBD extracts, and strangely enough not a lot of Biomass. From there they utilize distribution channels to service the EU.
Germany: I hate Germany (not trying to offend anyone). They are just as strict as the United States. I do not recommend sending flower, but supplying German companies with CBD and minors seems to be ok as long as it meets standards and they have transport permits and licensing.
Netherlands: The first country I have ever shipped to outside of North America. CBD isolate and CBD Flower were hot commodities and I have never had an issue with Customs. The main battle is finding economical options to get it there. UPS allowed me to “RENT” space on their aircraft for 2019 and up to March of 2020. This method allowed me to form my own manifest and avoid their “bulk” import process that would raise red flags.
France: Flower is a pain, Isolate and extracts not so much. Only a handful of shipments but I relied on French Custom Brokers to import the products. Everything would be pre-approved before flying.
Italy: Same as France. They have weird laws that contradict.
UK: The UK is strict and not strict at the same time. Classifying CBD products under novelty foods, it is imperative that you have an experienced importer or things go south quick. I personally just referred business to a company I work with. They have US and UK offices so they can handle both ends. My company would do their US domestic transit to avoid sketchy US common LTL carriers and to avoid common checkpoints across the country. Yes, there are certain areas that you should be weary of when transporting US product domestically.
Rest of EU: Essentially it is a pain to set up the supply chain for one pallet of goods to a new EU country. Not only do you have to utilize a Freight Forwarder in that country to import, but you also have to double check their work. Lots of R&D for a $2000 shipment that you make $150 on.
Canada: Yes, you can use the tribes to jerry-rig a supply chain of extracts to Canada. No, I do not recommend it. The proper way to do this is to extract US approved biomass strains in Canada down to their strict specifications. From there, it can be entered into the Health Canada database and be sold on the open market. To bring in Biomass, you need to get a permit from Health Canada which can only be obtained by a Health Canada registered Extraction Facility. The strain must also be approved with a 3rd party lab test. Recently, due to COA fraud, the labs and processors have been re-testing the material with Canadian Test Facilities for authenticity. Overall, a lucrative opportunity if you can source the proper strains and fight through the thick sludge of brokers and bull shit people sell.
Currently, I have partnered with a Lab that can supply these countries. I feel terrible for their Freight Forwarder, but it is so nice being on the other side. It’s fun to quiz them on what Airlines to use based on where its going and what commodity we are shipping. Overall, they are doing a great job. My company is now focused on supplying these channels to the EU, without infringing on the trust of my previous clients. IE hard work and organic sales techniques mixed with a little marketing. I will only use 2-3 labs/processors to accomplish this as good product and promises kept with ensure long term sustainability. www.bonavoluntate.com (work in progress dont flame me).

As long as your customer here in Germany has an official EORI number (customs clearance) and you send your package with UPS, it will usually arrive within 1 week.
UPS is well established here. I would not recommend other shipping companies.
We had no problems with any of our packages so far. But this was only extracts.
CBD flowers are officially illegal here. Even though not many care about it.
Tip: put a COA inside of the package. In case of customs broker opening the package, he can see what this “white powder” really is.

UPS is great until you reach larger volumes, then the price is not so great. We can utilize passenger planes to fly it directly to Germany and have it delivered in less than a week. Once it flies, about 3-4 days.
