Data available from: 2012

Status of the figures:
The figures for the period 2012-2023 are final. The figures from 2024 and beyond are provisional.

Changes as of 15 April 2026:
The monthly, quarterly, and annual figures for 2025 have been added. Up to and including 2023, the data in this table are based on integral flight data from airport registers of the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee combined with data from the Customs Administration of the Caribbean Netherlands. From reporting year 2024 onwards, data from the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee is missing, and the data are estimated based on the proportion of the combined customs data from 2022 and 2023 relative to the published data from both years. This ratio is multiplied by the customs data for the relevant reporting year.

When will new figures be available?
The figures for 2026 will become available in the 2nd quarter of 2027.
