Yes, the Netherlands has some restrictions on the import and export of drugs. All drugs and substances used in the manufacture of drugs must be imported or exported through a designated Agency for the Control of Medicines and Health Products (ACMHP).

-They must be imported under a valid import licence issued by the ACMHP;
-They must be imported from a legitimate source and accompanied by a valid official certificate;
-The quantity imported must be commensurate with the intended use;
-The import of controlled substances must be reported to the ACMHP on a regular basis.

-The quantity exported must not be more than is necessary for the intended use;
