Thai Food and Automotive into the EU: Two Flows, One Entity

Food: from export brand to EU brand

Thai food sells itself; the structure decides who books the margin. The BV (besloten vennootschap, the Dutch private limited company) takes the EU food-business operator role, carries labelling and packaging EPR, supplies retail from EU stock, and runs D2C through the OSS stack — the bulk-to-brand move, Thai edition.

Automotive: the supplier’s seat

EU purchasing contracts EU entities: consignment and call-off stock near the line, claims handled locally, invoicing intra-EU. The BV holds that seat while plants in Thailand produce — with Article 23 keeping the inbound VAT out of the cycle.

The shared machine

One EORI, one VAT position, one administration for both flows — the overhead divides, the entity pays off earlier. Quality and inspection routines on arrival follow the import compliance article.

The entity

The setup from Thailand: the companies route.
