If you're an alcohol supplier, you might be considering selling your products online. The e-commerce industry has been growing rapidly, and has been even accelerating over the last few years.
One of the biggest advantages of selling alcohol online is the ability to reach a wider audience. With e-commerce, you're not limited to selling to customers in your local area or even your country. You can sell your products to customers all over the world, which can lead to increased sales and revenue.
In addition, e-commerce offers a convenient shopping experience for customers. They can browse your products and make purchases from the comfort of their own homes, at any time of day or night. This can lead to increased customer loyalty and repeat business.
While selling alcohol online offers many benefits, it also poses some unique challenges for the alcohol industry. One of the biggest challenges is compliance with regulations.The sale of alcohol is heavily regulated, and there are strict rules around age verification, shipping, duties and advertising.
Selling alcohol online can be a highly profitable business opportunity for alcohol suppliers, but it also requires careful planning and compliance with regulations. “
De Groof Trading BV is a Belgian based company originally active in the wholesale and online business of food and drinks. Due to our online business we were confronted with the legal requirements which made us decide to create a tool allowing us to calculate the excise duties and national taxes related to the selling of alcoholic beverages to private citizens and this all over Europe. A digital and secure platform and an affordable price for all Europe customers are the key to the success.
Authorities will more and more perform stricter controls and failure to comply with the excise duty legislation may lead to the temporary closure of the entire activity of the company. Is this a risk worth taking?
