FAQ

Most common questions — answered briefly.

Are you a customs warehouse / bonded warehouse?

No. PULQ GbR operates an excise duty warehouse for spirits. Customs warehousing procedures (bonded/customs warehouse) are not part of our service profile.

Do you store beer or wine?

We specialise in spirits.

Can you organise transport?

Yes, we coordinate transport via partners — for pallet deliveries and parcel shipping, depending on destination and volume.

How does excise duty work in Germany?

For releases for the German market, excise duty becomes due. Reporting/payment is typically handled on a monthly basis.

International trade fairs & location advantage

North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) and Germany are among Europe’s key trade fair locations for the spirits and beverage sector. Proximity to major events can be a relevant factor in stock and distribution planning.

ProWein (Düsseldorf)

One of the world’s leading B2B trade fairs for wine and spirits. Düsseldorf (NRW) is well connected, enabling short lead times for stock before and after the event.

NRWB2BEU

Bar Convent Berlin (BCB)

An established international platform for premium spirits, bars and brands. For many exhibitors, warehouse availability in Germany is a relevant factor — especially around product launches and follow-up campaigns.

Other industry events

Cross-industry food and beverage trade fairs — such as ANUGA in Cologne — may also be relevant for certain spirits brands. Planning depends on destination markets, volumes and applicable excise-duty procedures (e.g. EMCS).
