Making Seed Shipments to Europe Easier, Faster and Smarter
Where bringing seeds from the USA to Europe once potentially brought challenges, growers can now rely on a smoother, more dependable journey.
In 2025, we introduced consolidated freight shipments to Europe—a smarter, more predictable way to get your seeds delivered. And now, a year later, we’re thrilled to see most of our EU customers choosing this option.
How Does Consolidated Freight Work?
• We group multiple customer orders within a set timeframe under one airway bill.
• Our experienced customs brokerage team coordinates air freight and clearance in Amsterdam.
• Once cleared, your order enters the local courier network for fast inter-EU delivery.
• You pay only your share of the freight and duty costs, based on weight and value.
Why Customers Love It
• Complete peace of mind: We handle everything—documents, pick-up, and customs clearance.
• Expertise you can trust: Our brokerage team knows EU agricultural regulations inside out.
• Predictable timelines: No more long waiting for updates.
• Proven reliability: Only a handful of delays in the past year compared to the old system.
Of course, courier shipping remains an option—but most customers agree consolidated freight is the way forward.
Even Faster Processing Behind the Scenes
We didn’t stop at freight. We’ve also streamlined how quickly we prepare your orders for export:
• NSHS Visual Inspection Programme
PanAmerican is USDA-accredited to self-inspect 95% of our product range for Europe. This means faster phytosanitary certification and shorter lead times.
• Modernised Distribution with OPEX
Our new goods-to-person system speeds up batch selection and document preparation. After six months, we’re seeing real efficiency gains.
Today, 98% of packed seeds and 92% of bulk seeds are inspected and ready to move. That’s progress you can count on.
