Consignment Sales in Europe: Serving European customers from home.

Usu­al­ly, when for­eign sup­pli­ers are just start­ing out sell­ing into Europe, they will only ship what the cus­tomer has ordered, and noth­ing more. This results in send­ing a new ship­ment of every Euro­pean order and wastes a lot of time and money.

With Con­sign­ment sales in Europe, you could ship most of the order to your cus­tomer and keep a lit­tle bit more on stock for the next cus­tomer who might order it, sav­ing mon­ey and time.

There are lots of advan­tages using con­sign­ment sales in Europe, like:

  • Intro­duces your prod­ucts into new sales channels
  • Reduced inven­to­ry hold­ing costs
  • You can offer faster deliv­ery to your clients
  • Restock as it sells

CAPLINQ allows for­eign sup­pli­ers to do con­sign­ment sales in Europe. As such, the for­eign sup­pli­er retains legal own­er­ship of the prod­ucts until they are sold to their customers.

By def­i­n­i­tion, in con­sign­ment sales, the for­eign sup­pli­er owns the goods until they are sold to a customer.

As such, the for­eign sup­pli­er is both the sell­er (to the Euro­pean cus­tomer) and the con­sign­or. CAPLINQ becomes the con­signee and the Euro­pean cus­tomer is the buy­er. CAPLINQ offers Euro­pean con­sign­ment sales through our order ful­fill­ment service.

Consignment sales in Europe mean reduced duty and taxes on import

As the goods are on con­sign­ment, the for­eign sup­pli­er is the legal own­er of the goods when they enter Europe. As such the com­pa­ny is allowed to import goods into Europe against the cost of goods sold instead of the sales price, which can be sig­nif­i­cant on duty charges and tar­iff fees.

You don’t want to pay import and duty charges on goods into Europe unless you’re sure that you’ll be able to sell them to your Euro­pean customers.

With CAPLIN­Q’s con­sign­ment sales in Europe, you have up to 12 months to sell your prod­ucts before you decide if you want to import them.
