How can I become an OYAQUA distributor in a country where there is no overseas warehouse?

Yes. Oyaqua appoints authorised distributors in countries that do not yet have a company-owned warehouse. In those markets, goods are shipped directly from our factory as full-container or consolidated loads, and you hold stock in your own warehouse or through a local 3PL. The first step is to send us a distributor application: we review your company profile, import experience, storage plan and sales network, then agree on territory, exclusivity and commercial targets before any order is placed.

What We Look for in a Distributor

Registered Local Company

Legal entity

You must be a legally registered company in the target country with a valid tax number, import licence and any certificates required for sanitary ware, plumbing or building materials.

Import & Customs Experience

Trade capability

You should already know how to clear container cargo, handle customs documentation and manage import duties, VAT or withholding taxes in your market.

Warehouse or Showroom

Storage & display

Even without an Oyaqua warehouse nearby, you need a bonded or commercial warehouse and ideally a showroom where retailers, contractors and project buyers can view products.

Sales & Service Network

Market reach

A credible distribution plan channels to retailers, project developers, plumbers and e-commerce. Local after-sales support and spare-parts handling are a strong advantage.

How to Apply in Five Steps

1
Contact Oyaqua through the distributorship form. Tell us your company name, country, target territory and whether you want exclusive or non-exclusive rights.
2
Submit your company profile. Include business registration, tax certificate, import licence, bank reference, warehouse or showroom photos, and a short sales-network description.
3
Share a market plan. Outline the buyer segments you will serve, your first-year sales forecast, and whether you plan to carry stock or use a third-party logistics partner.
4
Review the draft agreement. We discuss territory, exclusivity, minimum purchase commitments, payment terms, trademark use and termination conditions.
5
Place a pilot order. Many partners start with a 20-foot or 40-foot container mix to test packaging, sales velocity and local service before scaling up.

How We Cover Markets Without a Local Warehouse

Direct Factory Shipment

Orders ship from our manufacturing base as FCL or LCL cargo. You choose the Incoterm that matches your freight and risk preference.

Consolidated Loading

If a full container is too large for the first order, we can consolidate your Oyaqua products with compatible cargo to reduce freight cost per unit.

Samples & Catalogues

We send physical samples, technical catalogues and display boards so your sales team can present products without waiting for the first container.

Remote Training & Support

Product training, installation guidance and warranty policy briefings are delivered online. Market visits are scheduled once the volume justifies a trip.

Oyaqua sample kit with faucet, ceramic swatches and product catalogue on a desk — A starter sample kit lets you present Oyaqua materials, finishes and fittings to local buyers before the first container arrives.
