BAZA DE APROVIZIONARE SI DESFACERE SA (BAD Suceava) — Customs & Bill of Lading Data
Complete customs data and bill of lading intelligence profile for S.C. BAZA DE APROVIZIONARE ȘI DESFACERE S.A. SUCEAVA — the Romanian joint-stock company (S.A. — Societate pe Acțiuni) trading under the short brand BAD Suceava, headquartered in Suceava, the county seat of Suceava County in the historical region of Bukovina in north-eastern Romania. The company was founded in 1995 as the privatized successor of the Suceava County state supply base (the "Baza de Aprovizionare și Desfacere" name pattern is a holdover from the Romanian communist-era planned economy when every județ had a state supply base for distributing construction materials and industrial products). BAD Suceava operates from a 7,000 m² logistics infrastructure including 3,000 m² covered warehouses, 3,500 m² concrete storage platforms, 500 m² offices and its own parking area. The company is registered under two NACE codes — 5100 (Wholesale trade and commission trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles) and 5200 (Retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles; repair of personal and household goods) — reflecting its dual B2B wholesale + B2C retail business model. BAD Suceava operates across four distinct customs roles: Importer (2 HS codes — ceramic tiles, iron/steel articles), Exporter (3 HS codes — carbides, paints, welding electrodes), Wholesaler (22 HS codes covering the full DIY / construction materials portfolio for B2B customers) and Retailer (22 HS codes for B2C sales). The 49 total HS code entries reflect the breadth of the BAD Suceava product portfolio — covering ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, reinforced steel, profiles, pipes, sheets, wire, nails, fittings, abrasives, paints, adhesives, detergents, PVC products, rubber products, leather protection gloves, workwear, protection footwear, tools, welding electrodes, electrical apparatus, electric cables, and lighting fittings. The company's primary product focus per its website (www.badsuceava.ro) is metallurgical products — reinforced concrete steel (oțel beton), welded meshes (plase sudate), profiles, steel, sheet metal, pipes, fence panels — plus welding equipment/consumables/accessories, abrasive products, and drawn products (nails, wire).

1. Company Profile — BAD Suceava (Founded 1995, 7,000 m²)
S.C. BAZA DE APROVIZIONARE ȘI DESFACERE S.A. SUCEAVA — short brand BAD Suceava — is a Romanian joint-stock company (S.A. — Societate pe Acțiuni) headquartered in Suceava, the county seat of Suceava County in the historical region of Bukovina in north-eastern Romania. Suceava is the historical capital of the Principality of Moldavia (1388-1565) and today is a regional commercial and industrial centre with population of approximately 90,000 (city) and ~640,000 (county). The city's strategic location near the Ukrainian border (~40 km from the Siret / Porubne border crossing) gives BAD Suceava natural access to both the Romanian domestic market and the cross-border Moldova / Ukraine / CIS markets — which explains the company's dual Importer + Exporter activity.
The company was founded in 1995 as the privatized successor of the Suceava County state supply base. The "Baza de Aprovizionare și Desfacere" name pattern is a holdover from the Romanian communist-era planned economy (1947-1989) — every Romanian județ (county) had a state supply base ("BAD" or "Baze de Aprovizionare și Desfacere") responsible for distributing construction materials, industrial inputs, hardware and tools to state enterprises and authorised retailers. After the 1989 revolution and the subsequent mass-privatisation program of the mid-1990s, most of these state supply bases were corporatised as joint-stock companies (S.A.) and privatised — often through the FPP (Fondul Proprietății Private — Private Property Fund) mass-privatisation mechanism. BAD Suceava S.A. retains the historical brand and the historical mission of being the regional "supply base" for construction materials and hardware — but now operates as a private, profit-driven commercial company with both B2B wholesale and B2C retail channels.
BAD Suceava operates from a 7,000 m² logistics infrastructure in Suceava, comprising:
| Infrastructure element | Surface area (m²) | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Covered warehouses | 3,000 m² | Indoor storage for weather-sensitive products (paints, adhesives, electrical equipment, tools, abrasives, sanitary ware, ceramic tiles) |
| Concrete storage platforms | 3,500 m² | Outdoor storage for weather-tolerant heavy products (reinforced concrete steel, profiles, pipes, sheet metal, fence panels, welded meshes) |
| Offices | 500 m² | Administrative offices — sales, accounting, logistics, customer service |
| Own parking area | (included in total) | On-site parking for customer vehicles, delivery trucks, loading/unloading |
| TOTAL infrastructure | 7,000 m² | Combined logistics footprint for B2B wholesale + B2C retail operations |
This 7,000 m² logistics footprint positions BAD Suceava as one of the larger regional DIY / construction materials distributors in Bukovina — large enough to handle bulk deliveries of multi-tonne steel and ceramic tile shipments, but regional rather than national in scale. The split between covered warehouse (3,000 m² for sensitive products) and outdoor concrete platform (3,500 m² for heavy metallurgical products) reflects the company's website-documented primary product focus: metallurgical products (reinforced concrete steel, welded meshes, profiles, steel, sheet metal, pipes, fence panels) plus welding equipment / consumables / accessories, abrasive products, and drawn products (nails, wire).
Core product portfolio per website (badsuceava.ro):
| Product category | Specific products | HS Code coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Metallurgical products | Oțel beton (reinforced concrete steel), Plase sudate (welded meshes), Profile, Oțel (steel), Tablă (sheet metal), Țevi (pipes), Panouri gard (fence panels) | HS 730000 (articles of iron or steel — primary metallurgical line), HS 721700 (wire of iron or non-alloy steel), HS 730700 (tube/pipe fittings), HS 731700 (nails, staples), HS 732300 (household articles iron/steel) |
| Welding products | Equipment, consumables and accessories for welding | HS 831110 (welding electrodes — coated, base metal, electric arc welding) — both imported and exported |
| Abrasive products | Discs, abrasives on support, abrasive bodies | HS 680500 (natural or artificial abrasive powder or grain on textile / paper / paperboard base) |
| Drawn products | Nails, wire | HS 721700 (wire of iron or non-alloy steel) + HS 731700 (nails, staples) |

2. NACE Codes 5100 + 5200 — Dual Wholesale + Retail Registration
BAD Suceava is registered under two complementary NACE codes — one for wholesale trade (5100) and one for retail trade (5200). The dual registration reflects the company's vertically integrated B2B + B2C business model: as a wholesaler, BAD Suceava supplies other Romanian businesses (construction firms, hardware retailers, electricians, plumbers, fabricators); as a retailer, BAD Suceava sells directly to individual DIY consumers and small contractors through its Suceava retail outlet(s).
| Romanian NACE | EU NACE Rev. 2 equivalent | Description | BAD Suceava's activity in this NACE |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5100 (primary) | 46 (Wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles) | Wholesale trade and commission trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles — Wholesales, intermediations, import-export | B2B wholesale of the 22-product-category DIY/construction materials portfolio to construction firms, hardware retailers, electricians, plumbers, fabricators; import-export of HS 690800 ceramic tiles, HS 730000 iron/steel articles (importer) and HS 284900 carbides, HS 320800 paints, HS 831110 welding electrodes (exporter) |
| 5200 (secondary) | 47 (Retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles) | Retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles; repair of personal and household goods | B2C retail sales of the same 22-product-category portfolio to individual DIY consumers and small contractors through BAD Suceava retail outlet(s) in Suceava |
The dual 5100 + 5200 registration is characteristic of Romanian regional DIY / construction materials distributors — companies like Dedeman, Leroy Merlin Romania, Hornbach Romania, Bricostore, Brico Dépôt Romania, OBI Romania, Jumbo Romania all hold similar dual NACE registrations because they operate both B2B wholesale (selling to contractors, smaller hardware stores, fabricators) and B2C retail (selling to walk-in consumers). The dual registration allows the company to issue both VAT-compliant B2B sales invoices (with VAT reverse-charge / VAT-deduction rights for the customer) and standard B2C retail receipts.
3. HS Codes — Importer (2 codes)
In its importer role, BAD Suceava declares only two HS codes for direct customs importation — a narrow, focused importer profile relative to the broader 22-code wholesaler/retailer portfolio. This suggests that the company imports directly only the two highest-volume / highest-value-per-tonne categories (ceramic tiles and iron/steel articles) and sources the other 20 product categories through Romanian domestic wholesalers or EU intra-acquis trade (which doesn't appear as customs "import" but as Intrastat arrival).
HS Code 690800 · Ceramic (Ch. 69) · IMPORTED
Glazed ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles; glazed ceramic mosaic cubes and the like, whether or not on a backing — Floor & wall tiles
HS Chapter 69 — Ceramic products. Heading 6908 — Glazed ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles; glazed ceramic mosaic cubes and the like.
Typical products: Glazed ceramic floor tiles (gresie), glazed ceramic wall tiles (faianță), ceramic mosaic tiles (backed or unbacked). Used for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, facades.
Likely source countries: Italy (Sassuolo cluster — Marazzi, Ragno, Atlas Concorde, Cerasarda, Refin), Spain (Castellón cluster — Porcelanosa, Roca, Inalco, Apavisa), China (mass-market ceramic tiles), Turkey (Bilecik/Bozüyük cluster — Eczacıbaşı Vitra, Kale, Seranit, Graniser), India (mass-market ceramic tiles).
HS Code 730000 · Iron/Steel Articles (Ch. 73) · IMPORTED
Articles of iron or steel — Metal wares: sheets, profiles, pipes, reinforced concrete steel
HS Chapter 73 — Articles of iron or steel. The "7300" code is a 4-digit shorthand that covers multiple headings within Chapter 73 — including HS 7301 (sheet piling), HS 7302 (railway materials), HS 7303 (tubes & pipes, cast iron), HS 7304 (tubes & pipes, seamless), HS 7305 (tubes & pipes, welded), HS 7306 (other tubes), HS 7308 (structures), HS 7310 (tanks), HS 7312 (stranded wire).
Typical products per BAD website: Oțel beton (reinforced concrete steel — rebar), plase sudate (welded wire meshes for concrete reinforcement), profiles (L-profiles, U-profiles, I-profiles, T-profiles), oțel (raw steel), tablă (sheet metal — flat steel), țevi (pipes — welded/seamless steel pipes), panouri gard (fence panels — 2D / 3D wire fence panels).
Likely source countries: Turkey (Erdemir, İçdaş, Tosyalı, Habas — major steel exporters to Romania), China (mass-market steel products), India (JSW Steel, Tata Steel exports), Ukraine (Metinvest — historically major supplier before 2022 war disruption). Some Romanian domestic sourcing via ArcelorMittal Galați (largest steel plant in Romania).
Both imported categories — ceramic tiles (HS 690800) and iron/steel articles (HS 730000) — are heavy, low-value-per-kg products where direct bulk import (full container or full truck load) makes economic sense. The other 20 product categories in the wholesaler/retailer portfolio (paints, adhesives, tools, electrical, lighting, etc.) are likely sourced either domestically (Romanian manufacturers or Romanian importers) or via EU intra-acquis trade — which does not appear as customs "import" but as Intrastat arrival, and is therefore not in the customs importer HS code list.
4. HS Codes — Exporter (3 codes)
In its exporter role, BAD Suceava declares three HS codes for outbound shipments from Romania. This is unusual for a regional DIY distributor — most regional DIY companies operate only domestically. BAD Suceava's export activity reflects its strategic location in Suceava (~40 km from the Siret / Porubne border crossing into Ukraine, ~85 km from the Moldova border) — making cross-border exports to Moldova, Ukraine and other CIS markets logistically feasible.
HS Code 284900 · Chemical (Ch. 28) · EXPORTED
Carbides, whether or not chemically defined — Carbid
HS Chapter 28 — Inorganic chemicals; organic or inorganic compounds of precious metals, of rare-earth metals, of radioactive elements and of isotopes. Heading 2849 — Carbides, whether or not chemically defined.
Typical products: Calcium carbide (CaC₂ — used in welding (oxy-acetylene welding), in steel desulfurisation, in carbide lamps, and in fruit ripening); silicon carbide (SiC — used as abrasive and refractory); tungsten carbide (WC — used in cutting tools and wear-resistant parts).
Use case for BAD Suceava: Calcium carbide for acetylene welding (consistent with the company's welding products line). Export destinations likely: Moldova, Ukraine, other CIS countries — where Romanian carbide brands have historical market presence.
HS Code 320800 · Chemical (Ch. 32) · EXPORTED
Paints and varnishes (including enamels and lacquers) based on synthetic polymers or chemically modified natural polymers, dispersed or dissolved in a non-aqueous medium; solutions as defined — Lacquers and dyes
HS Chapter 32 — Tanning or dyeing extracts; tannins and their derivatives; dyes, pigments and other colouring matter; paints and varnishes; putty and other mastics; inks. Heading 3208 — Paints and varnishes based on synthetic polymers or chemically modified natural polymers, dispersed or dissolved in a non-aqueous medium.
Typical products: Solvent-based paints (alkyd, acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane), varnishes, lacquers, enamels, wood stains, anti-corrosion primers, metal paints.
Export interpretation: BAD Suceava likely exports Romanian-manufactured paints (brands like Abrom, Policolor, Anchor, Helta, Vonin) to Moldova and Ukraine — where Romanian paint brands have market presence due to language compatibility and historic trade relations.
HS Code 831110 · Base Metal (Ch. 83) · EXPORTED
Electrodes, coated, of base metal, for electric arc welding — Welding electrodes
HS Chapter 83 — Miscellaneous articles of base metal. Heading 8311 — Wire, rods, tubes, plates, electrodes and similar products, of base metal or of metal carbides, coated or cored with flux material, of a kind used for soldering, brazing, welding or for depositing metal on a job. Subheading 8311.10 — Coated electrodes of base metal, for electric arc welding.
Typical products: Coated welding electrodes (consumable welding rods) for shielded metal arc welding (SMAW / MMA welding) — for welding mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, hardfacing.
Export interpretation: Romanian-manufactured welding electrodes (e.g. ELBA Suceava — coincidentally also Suceava-based, or other Romanian brands) exported to Moldova, Ukraine, Bulgaria.
The three exporter HS codes (carbides, paints, welding electrodes) all align with the welding / surface-protection theme — confirming BAD Suceava's positioning as a welding-supplies specialist (consistent with the welding products line on the website). The export destinations are likely Moldova (largest Romanian export market for construction materials — common language, proximity), Ukraine (cross-border via Siret border crossing), and possibly Bulgaria / Serbia.
5. HS Codes — Wholesaler (22 codes)
In its wholesaler role, BAD Suceava distributes to Romanian B2B customers (construction firms, hardware retailers, electricians, plumbers, fabricators, welders, fabricators) a portfolio of 22 distinct HS-coded product families. The 22-code portfolio represents a comprehensive DIY / construction materials / hardware / industrial supplies B2B offering — covering everything from metallurgical products (the core website-documented business) to paints, adhesives, detergents, PVC products, rubber products, leather/cotton protection gear, ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, abrasive products, tools, electrical equipment, cables, and lighting.
| HS Code | Product family | Functional category |
|---|---|---|
| 284900 | Carbides (whether or not chemically defined) — Carbid | Welding chemicals |
| 320800 | Paints and varnishes (enamels, lacquers) based on synthetic polymers, non-aqueous medium — Lacquers and dyes | Paints & coatings |
| 340000 | Soap, organic surface-active agents, washing preparations, lubricating preparations, waxes, polishing/scouring preparations, candles — Detergents, soap | Cleaning products |
| 350600 | Prepared glues and adhesives, n.e.s.i.; products suitable for use as glues or adhesives, put up for retail sale — Adhesives | Adhesives |
| 392500 | Builders' ware of plastics, n.e.s.i. — PVC products | Plastic construction products |
| 400000 | Rubber and articles thereof — Rubber products | Rubber products |
| 420300 | Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, of leather or composition leather — Protection gloves | PPE — leather protection gloves |
| 621132 | Men's/boys' garments n.e.s., of cotton, not knitted — Protection equipment (workwear) | PPE — cotton workwear |
| 640200 | Other footwear with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics — Protection footwear | PPE — rubber/plastic protection footwear |
| 680500 | Natural or artificial abrasive powder or grain, on textile / paper / paperboard / other base — Abrasives | Abrasive products |
| 690800 | Glazed ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles; glazed ceramic mosaic cubes — Wall tiles, floor tiles | Ceramic tiles |
| 691000 | Ceramic sinks, wash basins, pedestals, baths, bidets, WC pans, flushing cisterns, urinals — Sanitary ware | Ceramic sanitary ware |
| 721700 | Wire of iron or non-alloy steel — Wires | Steel wire (drawn products) |
| 730000 | Articles of iron or steel — Metallurgical products: sheets, profiles, pipes, reinforced concrete steel | Iron/steel articles |
| 730700 | Tube or pipe fittings (couplings, elbows, sleeves), of iron or steel — Fittings | Steel pipe fittings |
| 731700 | Nails, staples and similar articles, of iron or steel — Nails | Nails, staples (drawn products) |
| 732300 | Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts, of iron or steel; iron/steel wool; pot scourers — Household goods | Iron/steel household articles |
| 820000 | Tools, implements, cutlery, spoons and forks, of base metal — Tools | Tools & cutlery |
| 831110 | Electrodes, coated, of base metal, for electric arc welding — Welding electrodes | Welding electrodes |
| 853600 | Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits (switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressors, plugs) — Low voltage equipment | Low-voltage electrical equipment |
| 854400 | Insulated wire, cable (including co-axial cable) and other insulated electric conductors; optical fibre cables — Electric cables and conductors | Electric cables & conductors |
| 940500 | Lamps and lighting fittings including searchlights and spotlights; illuminated signs — Lighting fittings and sources | Lighting fittings |
The 22-code wholesaler portfolio groups into nine functional clusters: (1) Welding chemicals + electrodes + abrasives (HS 284900, 831110, 680500 — the website-documented welding line); (2) Paints & coatings (HS 320800); (3) Cleaning products (HS 340000); (4) Adhesives (HS 350600); (5) Construction plastics + rubber (HS 392500, 400000); (6) Personal protection equipment PPE — gloves + workwear + footwear (HS 420300, 621132, 640200); (7) Ceramic tiles + sanitary ware (HS 690800, 691000); (8) Iron/steel metallurgical products (HS 721700, 730000, 730700, 731700, 732300 — the website-documented core); (9) Tools + electrical equipment + lighting (HS 820000, 853600, 854400, 940500). Together, the 22 categories make BAD Suceava a true "one-stop-shop for construction sites and DIY enthusiasts in Bukovina".
6. HS Codes — Retailer (22 codes)
In its retailer role, BAD Suceava sells the same 22 HS-coded product categories directly to individual DIY consumers and small contractors through its Suceava retail outlet(s). The retailer HS code list is essentially identical to the wholesaler list (Section 5) — confirming that the company offers its full product portfolio through both B2B and B2C channels. Some minor naming variations appear in the source data ("PVC items" vs "PVC products", "Rubber items" vs "Rubber products", "Household items" vs "Household goods", "Protection boots" vs "Protection footwear", "faiances" vs "wall tiles", "Niles" likely a typo for "Nails") but the underlying HS codes are identical.
The retailer registration covers the same 22 codes:
The identical 22-code list in both wholesaler and retailer roles means that a contractor buying 5 tonnes of reinforced steel for a construction site (B2B wholesale invoice with VAT reverse-charge) and an individual buying a single 25 kg bag of cement + a paint roller + a packet of nails (B2C retail receipt with VAT included) buy from the same supplier, the same warehouse, the same logistics infrastructure. This dual-channel model is standard for Romanian regional DIY distributors and gives BAD Suceava both economies of scale (single warehouse, single procurement, single logistics) and breadth of customer reach (B2B contractors + B2C consumers).
7. Four-Role Customs Business Model Analysis
BAD Suceava's registration across four distinct customs roles — Importer, Exporter, Wholesaler, Retailer — is unusual for a regional Romanian DIY distributor. Most Romanian regional DIY / construction materials companies operate only two roles (Importer + Wholesaler, or Wholesaler + Retailer). BAD Suceava's four-role registration reflects a sophisticated, vertically integrated business model:
| Customs role | HS codes | Activity | Counterparties |
|---|---|---|---|
| Importer | 2 codes (690800, 730000) | Direct customs importation into Romania — bulk shipments of ceramic tiles + iron/steel articles from foreign manufacturers | Foreign manufacturers (Italy, Spain, China, Turkey, India, Ukraine); Romanian customs (VAMA); Romanian VAT authority |
| Exporter | 3 codes (284900, 320800, 831110) | Outbound shipments from Romania — carbides, paints, welding electrodes sold to foreign customers | Foreign B2B customers in Moldova, Ukraine, Bulgaria; Romanian customs (export declarations); trade finance (letters of credit, advance payment) |
| Wholesaler | 22 codes | B2B wholesale distribution in Romania — sales to construction firms, hardware retailers, electricians, plumbers, fabricators, welders | Romanian B2B customers — VAT-registered companies; sales invoices with VAT reverse-charge for B2B customers |
| Retailer | 22 codes | B2C retail sales in Romania — sales to individual DIY consumers and small contractors through BAD Suceava retail outlet(s) in Suceava | Individual Romanian consumers; walk-in retail customers; small contractors paying by card / cash; retail receipts with VAT included |
Strategic positioning: The four-role model positions BAD Suceava as a full-cycle regional DIY / construction materials distributor — it imports bulk products from foreign manufacturers, exports Romanian-manufactured products to neighbouring countries, wholesales to B2B customers across the Bukovina region, and retails to walk-in consumers in Suceava. This vertically integrated operation allows the company to capture margin at every step of the supply chain (import CIF → wholesale price → retail price) and to offer competitive prices through bulk purchasing + direct sourcing.
8. Source-Country & Export-Destination Portfolio
BAD Suceava's import and export portfolio is shaped by Suceava's strategic location near the Ukraine and Moldova borders (~40 km from Siret / Porubne Ukraine border, ~85 km from Moldova border) and by Romania's EU membership (which provides EU free-circulation access to all 27 member states at 0% duty).
Importer source countries (for HS 690800 ceramic tiles + HS 730000 iron/steel articles):
| Source country | Likely HS code | Cluster / region | Trade agreement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Italy | 690800 (ceramic tiles) | Sassuolo cluster (Emilia-Romagna) — Marazzi, Ragno, Atlas Concorde, Cerasarda, Refin; world's largest ceramic tile cluster | EU free circulation → 0% duty |
| Spain | 690800 (ceramic tiles) | Castellón cluster (Valencia region) — Porcelanosa, Roca, Inalco, Apavisa | EU free circulation → 0% duty |
| Turkey | 690800 + 730000 (ceramic tiles + iron/steel articles) | Ceramic tiles: Bilecik/Bozüyük cluster (Eczacıbaşı Vitra, Kale, Seranit, Graniser). Iron/steel: Erdemir, İçdaş, Tosyalı, Habas | EU-Turkey Customs Union → 0% duty with A.TR |
| China | 690800 + 730000 (mass-market tiles + commodity steel) | Various Chinese clusters — mass-market commodity ceramic tiles and steel products | MFN duty (~5-12% on tiles, ~0-5% on most steel) |
| Ukraine | 730000 (iron/steel articles) | Metinvest (Mariupol-based — historically major supplier; disrupted post-2022 invasion) | EU-Ukraine DCFTA → 0% duty; plus EU autonomous trade measures (2022-2024) for steel |
| India | 690800 + 730000 (mass-market tiles + commodity steel) | Morbi cluster (Gujarat) for ceramic tiles; JSW Steel / Tata Steel for steel | MFN duty |
Exporter destination countries (for HS 284900 carbides + HS 320800 paints + HS 831110 welding electrodes):
| Destination country | Likely HS code | Rationale | Trade agreement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moldova | 284900 + 320800 + 831110 | Cross-border proximity (~85 km from Suceava); Romanian-language compatibility; Moldovan construction market growing; Moldova lacks domestic production of carbides, premium paints, welding electrodes | EU-Moldova Association Agreement / DCFTA (in force 2016) → 0% duty on most industrial products |
| Ukraine | 284900 + 320800 + 831110 | Cross-border proximity (~40 km from Siret / Porubne border crossing); Ukrainian reconstruction demand post-2022 invasion; welding electrodes in high demand for infrastructure repair | EU-Ukraine DCFTA → 0% duty; EU autonomous trade measures (2022-2024) for additional liberalisation |
| Bulgaria | 284900 + 320800 + 831110 | EU neighbour south of Romania; cross-border via Giurgiu-Ruse or Vama Giurgiu / Vama Negru Vodă | EU free circulation → 0% duty (Intrastat) |
| Serbia | 284900 + 320800 + 831110 | EU candidate country; cross-border via Vama Moravița / Vama Nădlac (via Hungary) | EU-Serbia Stabilisation and Association Agreement → 0% duty on most industrial products |
The actual source countries and destination countries per shipment are visible in the bill-of-lading dataset (Section 10 sample + Section 14 full dataset).
9. Bill of Lading Data Structure for BAD Suceava
A bill of lading (B/L) is the transport document issued by the carrier (container shipping line, road freight forwarder) that accompanies every commercial shipment between BAD Suceava and a foreign counterparty. For imports, B/L data is captured at the Romanian port of discharge (typically Constanța South Port for non-EU imports such as China / Turkey sea freight, or EU intra-acquis truck arrivals for EU-origin imports). For exports, B/L data is captured at the Romanian border crossing — typically Siret / Porubne (Ukraine border), Galați / Giurgiulești (Moldova border via Danube), or Albița / Leușeni (Moldova border via Prut river bridges).
For BAD Suceava, every B/L record (both inbound import and outbound export) carries the following fields:
| Field | Description | Typical value for BAD Suceava |
|---|---|---|

For a dual-channel DIY/construction materials distributor like BAD Suceava, a typical year of B/L records yields 50-150 inbound + outbound shipments — the exact figure depends on the volume of direct customs-imported ceramic tiles and iron/steel, plus the volume of exported carbides/paints/electrodes. The exact figures for BAD Suceava are available via TurkExim subscription.
10. Representative Sample B/L Records — Multi-Direction

They are not certified copies of actual BAD Suceava B/Ls.
11. Romanian DIY & Construction Materials Market Context
Romania, with a population of approximately 19 million (2025) and EU member state since 2007, is one of Central-Eastern Europe's largest construction materials markets. The Romanian DIY / construction materials retail market is estimated at EUR 6-8 billion per year (2024-2025), driven by a robust residential construction sector, EU-funded infrastructure projects (PNRR — National Recovery and Resilience Plan), and increasing home-improvement spending by the rising Romanian middle class.
The Romanian DIY / construction materials retail sector is dominated by several large national chains:
- Dedeman — the largest Romanian DIY chain (~70+ stores nationwide, ~EUR 1.5 billion revenue); Romanian-owned (founder: Puiu and Adriana Mocanu — Iași-based family business)
- Leroy Merlin Romania (French Adeo Group) — ~15+ stores in major cities
- Hornbach Romania (German) — ~14+ stores
- Bricostore (formerly French Saint-Gobain, now part of Adeo) — several stores
- Brico Dépôt Romania (Kingfisher UK group)
- OBI Romania (German Tengelmann group)
- Penky Romania and other smaller regional DIY chains
Below the national-chain tier, a substantial tier of regional DIY distributors and wholesalers serves the regional and rural markets — companies like BAD Suceava in Bukovina, plus similar regional players in other Romanian historical regions: Transylvania (Cluj, Brașov, Sibiu), Moldavia (Iași, Bacău), Muntenia (Pitești, Ploiești), Oltenia (Craiova), Banat (Timișoara), Dobruja (Constanța), Crișana (Oradea), Maramureș (Baia Mare). These regional players typically operate 1-5 retail outlets + B2B wholesale in their catchment area, sourcing both from national-chain suppliers (Hornbach / Leroy Merlin wholesale arms, plus Romanian manufacturers) and directly from foreign manufacturers (Italy, Spain, Turkey, China).
Within the Suceava / Bukovina regional DIY market, BAD Suceava competes with regional players such as Brico Depo Suceava, Dedeman Suceava (national chain branch), Hornbach Suceava (if present), plus local family-owned hardware stores and construction materials suppliers in Suceava city and surrounding towns (Rădăuți, Fălticeni, Vatra Dornei, Siret, Gura Humorului). BAD Suceava's differentiation is its historical brand heritage (the "Baza de Aprovizionare și Desfacere" name carries trust recognition among older Romanian consumers from the communist era), its vertically integrated importer + exporter + wholesaler + retailer operation, and its strategic location near the Ukraine / Moldova borders which enables both import sourcing and cross-border export distribution.
Romania applies standard EU TVA (VAT) at 19% at import (recoverable as input VAT for VAT-registered importers). The EU Customs Union means goods in free circulation within the EU move freely to Romania at 0% duty. The EU-Turkey Customs Union provides 0% duty on Turkish industrial products (HS 6908, 7300). The EU-Moldova DCFTA and EU-Ukraine DCFTA provide 0% duty on most industrial products exported from Romania to Moldova / Ukraine. EU-Ukraine autonomous trade measures (in force since 2022 in response to the Russian invasion) provide additional liberalisation for Ukrainian steel imports — relevant for BAD Suceava's potential Ukraine sourcing.
12. How to Use This Data for B2B Prospecting of BAD Suceava
If you are a competing foreign manufacturer (Italian ceramic tile producer, Turkish steel manufacturer, Chinese commodity producer, Indian tile/steel manufacturer, Ukrainian steel supplier), a freight forwarder, a Romanian customs broker, a Romanian construction firm looking to source from BAD Suceava, a Moldovan / Ukrainian B2B buyer of carbides/paints/electrodes, or a Romanian DIY competitor — the customs and B/L dataset for BAD Suceava gives you the following 5-step prospecting workflow:
- Confirm the company — Verify S.C. BAZA DE APROVIZIONARE ȘI DESFACERE S.A. SUCEAVA at the Romanian Trade Register (onrc.ro) using the company name or short brand "BAD Suceava". Retrieve the CUI (tax ID), J-number (trade register code — likely J[37]/[xxx]/[1995]), registered office address, founding date (1995), directors and shareholder structure.
- Pull the B/L dataset — Subscribe to a commercial trade-intelligence provider (TurkExim, Panjiva, ImportGenius, TradeData) and filter for consignee = "BAZA DE APROVIZIONARE" OR shipper = "BAZA DE APROVIZIONARE" with country in (Italy, Spain, Turkey, China, India, Ukraine — for imports) and (Moldova, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Serbia — for exports), and HS code in (690800, 730000, 284900, 320800, 831110). This will return every shipment BAD Suceava has imported or exported since the company was founded.
- Identify the foreign shipper / consignee — The shipper field on import B/Ls is the specific Italian / Spanish / Turkish / Chinese / Indian / Ukrainian manufacturer that BAD Suceava actually buys from. The consignee field on export B/Ls is the specific Moldovan / Ukrainian / Bulgarian B2B customer that BAD Suceava sells to. These are the most valuable pieces of competitive intelligence.
- Quantify the import / export pattern — Count the B/Ls per year per direction, sum the gross weight per year per HS code, look at the month-by-month distribution. Construction materials imports are typically seasonal (heavier in spring-summer construction season March-September) and project-driven (large construction projects trigger bulk imports).
- Time the outreach — Contact BAD Suceava 30-60 days before the next expected shipment. Decision-makers are typically the general manager / commercial director — reachable via the contact details on the Romanian Trade Register or via the website contact form at badsuceava.ro.
For freight forwarders, the same workflow applies in reverse — identify the shipping lane (e.g. Ravenna → Constanța South on MSC for Italian tiles, Istanbul Ambarlı → Constanța South on Arkas for Turkish steel, Suceava → Siret / Porubne border TIR truck for Ukraine exports), find the BAD Suceava consignee/shipper, and pitch your own lower-cost or faster-transit alternative route on the same lane.
13. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. Who is BAZA DE APROVIZIONARE SI DESFACERE SA?
S.C. BAZA DE APROVIZIONARE ȘI DESFACERE S.A. SUCEAVA (short brand BAD Suceava) is a Romanian joint-stock company (S.A. — Societate pe Acțiuni) headquartered in Suceava, Suceava County (Bukovina region, north-eastern Romania). Founded in 1995 as the privatized successor of the Suceava County state supply base. Operates a 7,000 m² logistics infrastructure (3,000 m² covered warehouses + 3,500 m² concrete platforms + 500 m² offices). Website: www.badsuceava.ro. Registered under two NACE codes — 5100 (Wholesale trade) + 5200 (Retail trade).
Q2. What does "Baza de Aprovizionare și Desfacere" mean?
"Baza de Aprovizionare și Desfacere" literally translates to "Supply and Distribution Base". This name pattern comes from the Romanian communist-era planned economy (1947-1989) when every județ (county) had a state supply base ("BAD" or "Baze de Aprovizionare și Desfacere") responsible for distributing construction materials, industrial inputs, hardware and tools to state enterprises and authorised retailers. After 1989, most of these state supply bases were corporatised as joint-stock companies (S.A.) and privatised in the mid-1990s — BAD Suceava S.A. was founded in 1995 as the privatized successor and retains the historical brand.
Q3. What are the four customs roles of BAD Suceava?
BAD Suceava operates across four distinct customs roles: Importer (2 HS codes — 690800 ceramic tiles, 730000 iron/steel articles), Exporter (3 HS codes — 284900 carbides, 320800 paints/varnishes, 831110 welding electrodes), Wholesaler (22 HS codes — full DIY / construction materials portfolio for B2B customers), and Retailer (22 HS codes — same portfolio for B2C consumers in Suceava region). The four-role registration is unusual for a regional DIY distributor and reflects BAD Suceava's vertically integrated importer + exporter + wholesaler + retailer operation.
Q4. What products does BAD Suceava sell per its website?
Per the official website (badsuceava.ro), BAD Suceava's primary product focus is metallurgical products — oțel beton (reinforced concrete steel), plase sudate (welded meshes), profile, oțel (steel), tablă (sheet metal), țevi (pipes), panouri gard (fence panels) — plus welding products (equipment, consumables, accessories), abrasive products (discs, abrasives on support, abrasive bodies), and drawn products (nails, wire). The customs HS code portfolio (22 codes Wholesaler + Retailer) covers a broader range including paints, adhesives, ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, electrical equipment, cables, lighting — likely stocked through the broader DIY distributor activity.
Q5. Where is BAD Suceava located?
BAD Suceava is headquartered in Suceava, the county seat of Suceava County in the historical region of Bukovina in north-eastern Romania. Suceava is approximately 40 km from the Siret / Porubne border crossing into Ukraine, ~85 km from the Moldova border, and ~430 km north of Bucharest. The registered office address can be retrieved from the Romanian Trade Register (ONRC, onrc.ro).
Q6. Why does a regional DIY distributor also export?
BAD Suceava's export activity (carbides HS 284900, paints HS 320800, welding electrodes HS 831110) is enabled by its strategic location in Suceava, near the Ukraine (~40 km) and Moldova (~85 km) borders. Romanian-manufactured welding products, paints and carbides have historical market presence in Moldova and Ukraine due to Romanian-language compatibility, historic trade relations, and competitive pricing. The cross-border proximity enables TIR truck deliveries from Suceava to Chișinău (Moldova) or Chernivtsi (Ukraine) within 4-8 hours.
Q7. Are the sample B/L records in Section 10 actual BAD Suceava shipments?
No. The 6 records in Section 10 are representative sample B/Ls structured to show the typical data fields, shipper / consignee pattern (Italian Marazzi / Turkish Erdemir / Chinese manufacturer → BAD Suceava; BAD Suceava → Moldovan / Ukrainian B2B customers), packaging convention, vessel pattern (container vessel for sea freight, TIR truck for road freight) and HS codes (690800, 730000, 284900, 320800, 831110) of the multi-direction trade lanes feeding BAD Suceava's four-role operation. They are illustrative. The actual full BAD Suceava B/L dataset — with real shipper / consignee names, vessel names, container numbers, exact trade dates and declared values — is available via TurkExim subscription (see Section 14).
