Service Overview

Expanding Your Business Horizons in Europe

ASC CONSULTING helps international companies sell, purchase, and stock goods across Europe without opening a local company.

Thanks to cross-border VAT registration and our network of logistics partners, you can act just like a local business: buy goods, store them, and sell them to your clients or marketplaces, all under your own company name.

Whether you’re an e-commerce brand, a B2B supplier, or a trading company, we help you optimize your cash flow, remain fully compliant, and reduce your operational burden.


What You Can Do Without a Local Company

  • Import goods into the EU under your own name using an EU VAT number

  • Hold stock in fulfillment centers or third-party warehouses across Europe

  • Sell locally (B2B or B2C) without intermediaries

  • Work directly with freight forwarders and logistics providers, while remaining the legal owner of your stock at all times

  • Deliver to marketplaces like Amazon, Cdiscount, or Otto from your local EU stock

  • Act as a local seller for tax and compliance purposes, without a full company setup

Industry Insights

Navigating Europe’s trade rules can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.

In the EU, storing and selling goods locally is often not a strategic choice but a legal requirement. Certain countries require you to register for VAT when goods are stored or sold locally, even if you don’t have a legal entity there.

This makes structuring essential.

Knowing which country to use as your entry point can dramatically improve your cash flow.

Each country has its own rules for customs clearance, import VAT, and reverse charge mechanisms.

Not all marketplaces or 3PLs support non-EU entities without VAT registration.

Our experts analyze your case and build a structure that is both operationally effective and fiscally optimized.
