WHY DO SO MANY MARKET ENTRIES FAIL?
Two bottlenecks stand between you and the customer.
If you sell from Asia into Germany, it's easy to underestimate how quickly two hurdles can stall your market entry — long before the first customer is served. We know both: one we solve, the other we bridge.
Legal market access
Since December 2024, the GPSR has required an EU-based Responsible Person for almost every product. Without one, listings are blocked and goods are held at customs. Marketplaces like Amazon already enforce this.
We guide you through the requirements and build the bridge to our legal partner — so your goods arrive and are cleared to sell.
The missing local presence
Without a warehouse in Germany, every order means long delivery times from Asia, expensive individual shipments, and returns that are almost impossible to manage. For German customers, that's a reason not to buy.
Your goods are stored with us in Berlin. We usually ship within 24 hours and handle returns locally — as reliably as your customers expect.

Testimonials
What our clients say about us
"Since we started working with Media Impuls, I can focus on what I do well. In March I had 40% more new orders than the year before – and I'm certainly very glad I no longer have to handle any boxes myself."
"I cannot begin to express the deep appreciation we have for our partnership with Media Impuls. The Media Impuls team is professional, efficient, and cost effective for a multi-national company like ours which does business in the EU and the United States with many brands. Specifically, David Kaiser, Manger of Customer Sales & Success, has done everything possible to ensure the success of our EU distribution strategy. We are unbelievably appreciative to have such competent partners in the process and look forward to continued success together."
"Partnering with Media Impuls has been essential in scaling my business. Beyond their seamless logistics and reliable delivery, the team acts as a true extension of my own staff, providing the personal attention and flexibility I need to navigate the complexities of e-commerce. I especially appreciate their proactive support and the way they step in to catch my occasional oversights—they truly have my back."
"Working with Media Impuls is a real asset to our inspection processes. As a platform for digital vehicle trading, we depend on the smooth supply of our vehicle appraisers across the entire field – and this is exactly where the Media Impuls team excels. From goods receipt and storage to on-time shipping, every step of the process fits together seamlessly. We particularly value that Media Impuls goes far beyond pure fulfillment – from individual onboarding packages for our vehicle appraisers to flexible custom solutions in day-to-day operations. We are extremely grateful to have such a competent and proactive partner at our side."
Brands and organizations that trust us.
"We've been doing fulfillment for over 20 years – owner-led, in Berlin, with the same values as on day one. Our clients stay because they know who they're talking to. We grow with their businesses, not against them. That's our understanding of 3PL – as a partner, not a platform."

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about selling from Asia into Germany
Selling from Asia and looking to enter the German market? The same questions tend to come up early — about GPSR and the EU Responsible Person, customs, delivery times, returns and marketplace integration. Here you'll find short, clear answers. For your specific case, we'll cover everything else in a personal initial call.
Do I need an EU responsible person as a brand from Asia?
For consumer products sold online into the EU: yes. Since 13 December 2024, the EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) has required an EU-established economic operator named on the product or its packaging. What is needed beyond that depends on your product category: cosmetics additionally require a notification in the EU cosmetics portal (CPNP), electronics a WEEE registration, and anything containing a battery a registration under the German Battery Act. With your own German GmbH you are your own EU economic operator. Media Impuls guides you through the requirements, together with Eggert & Partner Rechtsanwälte in Berlin.
What happens without an EU responsible person on Amazon and other marketplaces?
Marketplaces such as Amazon already enforce the GPSR: without a registered EU responsible person, listings are deactivated and may not be sold in Germany. Goods can also be held at customs. With the right setup your listings stay active — Media Impuls clarifies what your product category requires, together with Eggert & Partner Rechtsanwälte in Berlin.
Does a fulfillment provider also give legal or tax advice?
No — under German law, legal advice is reserved for qualified lawyers. That is exactly why Media Impuls works with Eggert & Partner Rechtsanwälte in Berlin, an English-speaking law firm experienced in guiding companies from abroad through market entry in Germany and the EU. Media Impuls makes the introduction, coordinates the process and handles everything operational around it.
What experience does a Berlin 3PL have with market entries from Asia?
Media Impuls has brought brands from abroad onto the German market — from the first questions through to thousands of orders shipped from Berlin. Together with Eggert & Partner Rechtsanwälte, the requirements are solved in practice, not only in theory.
Which shop systems and marketplaces can be connected?
Media Impuls connects all common shop systems, marketplaces and inventory management systems — among them Shopify, Shopware, Amazon, eBay, Xentral and JTL. Where no ready-made connection exists for a system, a suitable interface is set up. Your orders then flow automatically into our customer portal, so that shipping and stock stay in sync.
How are returns from Germany handled?
Media Impuls receives returns on site in Berlin, checks and processes them — with no return journey to Asia. For brands selling into Germany from abroad, that removes the most expensive part of a return. Your customers return domestically, and the goods go straight back into stock.
