Explanation:

What is a commissionaire?

Commissionaire structures are not uncommon within multinational groups.

The concept of a “commissionaire” is based on civil law systems such as those in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. It refers to a person who sells goods in his own name, but for the account of a principal.

Under a commissionaire arrangement:

the commissionaire sells to customers, and acts in the commissionaire’s own name the principal is contractually bound to deliver the goods to the customers
title in the goods passes directly from the principal to the customers
the commissionaire is contractually bound to remit the price received to the principal no contractual relationship is created between customers and the principal, and Customers have a right of recourse against the commissionaire only
There is no direct equivalent under English law. The closest is an agent for an undisclosed principal. However, this has a different legal effect in law, because the customer can sue both the agent and the principal.

In European civil law jurisdictions (e.g., France, Germany), a commissionaire is a person who acts in his or her own name for the account of a principal. The principal is contractually bound to deliver (through the commissionaire) the goods sold to the customer; the commissionaire is contractually bound to the principal to remit the price received to the principal. In addition, the commissionaire is contractually bound to the customer to deliver the goods sold on the terms agreed. No relationship is created between the customer and the principal. The commissionaire is remunerated by commission, and paid by the principal. The commissionaire does not take title to the goods.
