German term

Generalimporteur

German to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) in a contract
Kontext: Vertrag zwischen einem Hersteller und einem "Generalimporteur"

Bsp.: Der Generalimporteur kauft und verkauft im eigenen Namen und auf eigene Rechnung.

Ich denke an "sole importer" aber auch an "exclusive distributor".

Vielen Dank!

sole/exclusive importer

"Ein Generalimporteur hat das vertragliche Recht exklusiv als einziger Importeur der Waren eines Unternehmens in ein bestimmtes Land aufzutreten."

Though I wouldn't keep repeating "sole/exclusive" unless the context warranted it.

neutral Alexandra Reuer : This is exactly the definition of a general importer: "General importers are entitled to appear as the only importer of a company's product into a certain country, e.g. motor vehicles or machines etc." (see my link above)

Your link is a poor-quality translation from German ("entitled to appear as"), and it's wrong. A general importer is one who imports a wide variety of products.

General Importer

Hallo Michael,

Ich habe dafür in verschiedenen Texten sehr häufig "general importer" gefunden, und die Richtigkeit des Begriffs scheint auch hier bestätigt zu werden:
