Who we are

A European leading distributor in duty-free travel retail, based in Antwerp.

For decades Detraco International has sat quietly at the centre of a complex trade - the connective tissue between brand owners and the travellers, vessels and missions they can't reach directly.

We handle the paperwork, the bonded storage and the last mile so our partners don't have to: from a single case of spirits for a border shop to a full ship's chandlery, cleared and delivered dockside.
