WHO IT IS FOR
BIOINGRE HUB is aimed at non-EU producers of ingredients, additives, raw materials and specialty chemicals for the food industry who:
✓ already sell to Europe;
✓ wish to serve customers who buy small quantities too;
✓ have products that are competitive in quality, specifications and price, and are looking for a distributor in Europe or an EU importer of record.
THE PROJECT
Many European companies, from small and medium-sized manufacturers to distributors, buy less than a container, often below the producer minimum order quantity. To reach them, international producers today rely on container or bulk sales through importers and distributors.
BIOINGRE HUB lets producers serve the European market directly, from stock the producer places in the Free Port of Trieste, Italy, with duties and VAT suspended until an order is confirmed. At that point BIOINGRE HUB imports the exact quantity requested, verifies quality at a certified laboratory and delivers straight to the customer, door to door, in 3-7 days. We handle flexible quantities, from a single pallet to a full container. The producer keeps control of its prices and its customers, and retains a larger share of the commercial margin.
THE OPERATING MODEL
01
The producer positions its goods in our bonded warehouse inside the Free Port of Trieste, where they remain its property, with duties and VAT suspended.
02
The European customer orders the quantity it needs, from a single pallet to a full container: we break bulk and deliver FCL or LCL.
03
BIOINGRE HUB buys the quantity ordered, verifies its quality, imports it as the EU importer of record and delivers it door to door in 3–7 working days.
04
BIOINGRE HUB handles invoicing and collection with the European customer and pays the producer on the agreed terms.

Production, price and margin
Import and customs clearance as the EU importer of record
Logistics to Trieste
Quality control in a certified laboratory
Customer development
Bonded warehouse storage in the Free Port
Delivery to the European customer
Invoicing and collection with the European customer
The producer invoices BIOINGRE HUB for the quantity of each individual order. BIOINGRE HUB applies an agreed fixed fee and sets, together with the producer, a single delivered “European Customer” price. No fixed costs, no retainer, no separate commission: the cost arises when the order does.
QUALITY AND COMPLIANCE
Before each import, every batch is analysed in a certified European laboratory. Certificates, technical data sheets and labelling are checked, along with compliance with European regulation. Import takes place upon compliant results, safeguarding European customers and the producer’s reputation.
TRIESTE
International Free Port: our bonded warehouse is inside it. Goods are already in Europe, with duties and VAT suspended until import, with no fixed time limit.
Frequent rail connections to Italy, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and the Balkan markets.
Import on order: the stock is already in Europe and is imported once sold.
THE SUPPLY CHAIN
Broadens its European customer base, increases sales in Europe, improves profitability, sets its own price and positioning, without opening a company or tying up customs capital.
Buys the quantities it needs, with shorter supply lead times.
Receives small quantities within days, with verified quality.
Benefits from a more efficient, better controlled supply chain, and potentially more competitive prices.
FAQ
No. You need a European operator that imports in its own name and invoices the customer: that is the EU importer of record role BIOINGRE HUB performs. You can sell in Europe without opening a European company.
An entity established in the Union, with an EORI number, that takes on customs and tax liability for the import. A non-EU company cannot do it on its own.
Yes, it settles them at the moment of import. While the goods remain in the bonded warehouse inside the Free Port of Trieste, duties and VAT stay suspended.
As long as they remain in the bonded warehouse, with no fixed time limit. They are imported when they are sold.
Yes: it is the core of the service. With stock already in Trieste we break bulk and deliver the quantity the customer asks for, from a single pallet to a full container, FCL or LCL.
An agreed fixed fee on the final selling price. No fixed costs, no retainer, no separate commission.
BIOINGRE HUB, which also handles collection. The producer is paid on the agreed terms.
A fiscal representative meets VAT obligations on your behalf, but the goods stay yours and so does the risk. An importer of record buys, imports in its own name, invoices and takes on liability towards the customer.
BIOINGRE HUB does not look for customers or distributors. The goods stay yours until the European customer orders, and you set the price and the positioning. If you are looking for a distributor in Europe instead, Bioingre can also act as a conventional distributor.
We deliver across Europe by rail or road, using the intermodal transport of the Port of Trieste, in 3-7 working days. Goods can also reach another non-EU country, in which case they are never imported into Europe.
Send us the technical data sheet, safety data sheet, certifications, expected volumes, price and requested Incoterms. Within 24 hours we come back with a P&L that sets out the commercial and financial case for the operation.
