What is the difference between an importer and a distributor?

The importer handles customs clearance and product compliance in the destination country; it often distributes too, but the roles can be separate.

Importer search

The importer handles customs, compliance and first distribution: choosing well is decisive.

Why an importer

In many markets a local importer reduces customs, regulatory and logistics complexity for a foreign producer.

What we check

Category experience, stated licences to be verified, sales network and proposed payment terms.
