Notes

Wholesale B2B distribution sector — VAT not included in prices. Wholesale food distributors apply the VAT rates applicable to each product category. B2B clients have differentiated tariffs based on volume, exclusivity, or business type. Consolidated invoices (grouping multiple delivery notes) simplify client management. Early payment discount is common in the sector (e.g. 2% if paid within 10 days).
