Commissionaire markets

In countries where Xhas an affiliated commissionaire entity, the latter puts the products on the market (through merchandising) and Y ships the products to the customers according to customers’ instruction.

Distributor markets

In countries where X does not have an affiliate that performs direct merchandising, such as in countries where economic considerations prohibit establishing an X entity, X uses unrelated distributors/wholesalers to access the market.

Die Kommissionshändler kaufen x die Ware auf Kommission ab und unterhalten ein Kommissionslager und dürfen ausschließlich die Ware von x in dem Sektor, in dem x tätig ist verkaufen und vertreiben sie dann, während die Vertriebshändler die Ware von x u.a. verkaufen. Also nicht an x gebunden sind und auch nicht ausschließlich x-Ware im gleichen Sektor verkaufen müssen.

Kommissionär

Explanation:
"Ein Kommissionär ist ein Absatzhelfer, der in eigenem Namen und für fremde Rechnung tätig ist.
Seine Vergütung besteht in einer umsatzabhängigen Kommission oder Provision." Definition des Handels
Der Kommissionär benötigt überhaupt kein Kommissionslager, da er für fremde Rechnung kauft (zB Direktlieferung an Abnehmer) Mit 'Ware auf Kommission' kaufen hat es nicht unbedingt zu tun.
