The suspects are two 24-year-old men from Amsterdam and a 39-year-old from Zoetermeer.
The shipment went missing on June 18, prompting an investigation, led by the Noord-Holland public prosecution department, into an organised crime group.
One of the suspects works for a transport company at Schiphol and is thought to have passed confidential information to the group, the military police said. Further arrests have not been ruled out.
