Which route best describes sales into the Netherlands?

MarketplaceWe sell through Amazon, eBay or another online marketplace. Own webshop — directOur own store ships directly to customers in the Netherlands. Direct to a Dutch business end-userThe Dutch business uses the goods; it is not buying them for resale. Dutch importer or resellerA Dutch business buys/imports the goods and resells them. Mixed or uncertainMore than one route applies, or the contractual importer is unclear.

Why the B2B split matters: a sale to a Dutch importer/reseller generally follows the buyer’s import route. A direct sale to a business end-user is not automatically treated the same way and remains in the PPWR allocation review.
