What kind of company we are

In trade terms, BROG is a general trading company. Four terms describe how we work with you.

General trading company
We trade in many product lines, not one. We buy the goods, take title to them and sell them on, so you deal with one counterparty instead of a chain of suppliers.
Merchanting trade
We can buy in one country and sell into another without the goods passing through ours. They ship straight from the factory to you.
EXW to DDP
We take over wherever you need us: at the factory gate, on board the ship, or delivered to your door with the duties paid.
Importer and exporter of record
We can stand as the declared importer or exporter, file the declarations and answer to customs for them.

What we do

Six services in three stages. Take the one you need, or hand us the whole chain.

    Buy: We find the factory and buy right

      You get

      • A shortlist of checked factories
      • Samples to approve
      • A quote on a named Incoterm
    • Private label production

    Carrier booking, export declaration, transit and import clearance.

  6. We store or deliver

    Into our warehouse in North Macedonia, or straight to your door.
