What we do

Direct from EU plants to licensed buyers.

Sourcing

We purchase directly from manufacturers in the European Union, without intermediaries. Each category we take on is cleared against the rules of the destination market before a first purchase is made — classification, notification status and labelling. The specific categories we handle are confirmed to verified trade counterparties on request.

Origin
EU manufacturing site
Terms
FCA at the plant

Distribution

We sell exclusively to licensed wholesalers and distributors. Within the EU and the EEA, where we sell is decided by regulatory mapping, not by demand: a market opens for a category only once its classification, notification, labelling and tax position are mapped and current. Every counterparty is verified before a first transaction: licence status, registry standing and VAT number (VIES).

Logistics

Consignments ship directly from the manufacturing site to the buyer’s named place; they are not stored or re-handled in Estonia. Carriage will be arranged by us through licensed carriers, under FCA or DAP (Incoterms 2020). Transport, batch and traceability documentation will accompany every consignment.

On the left, a manufacturer’s site in the European Union, marked FCA at the plant. On the right, a licensed wholesaler or distributor, marked DAP at the named place. A solid line joins them directly: the goods, under licensed carriage, sealed and documented. Above, Vardeholm in Tallinn, joined to each by a dashed line for the purchase and the sale, with their contracts, documents and payments. The goods line does not pass through Tallinn.

Tax and duty position

The tax and duty treatment of a consignment follows from the classification of the goods in the destination Member State — not from the description on the packaging or the declaration of the manufacturer. We establish that classification in writing, per category and per destination, before an order is released: whether the goods fall within harmonised excise under Directive 2011/64/EU, whether they move under a duty suspension arrangement and within EMCS, and what documentation the destination market requires. Where a category falls outside harmonised excise, that does not displace any other obligation: traceability under Reg. (EU) 2018/574, product notification and national market rules apply in full.

Operating parameters

We work in full pallets. A consignment is planned as one or more pallets, as a part load (LTL), or as a full truck load (FTL) where the volume warrants it.

We trade to order against confirmed volumes; we do not hold speculative stock. Lead times follow the manufacturer’s production schedule — a first order with new artwork takes longer than a repeat order — and are confirmed in writing per consignment before an order is released. Both spot consignments and framework agreements with scheduled call-offs are possible.

All transactions are settled by bank transfer; we neither accept nor make cash payments. Payment structures — prepayment or agreed terms — are fixed in writing before goods move.
