How it's used
Focuses on the business relationship between a supplier and a retailer or intermediary rather than direct retail to the public. It implies an official agreement where the distributor holds stock or represents the brand in a specific market. It sounds more professional and formal than simply saying 賣.
Examples
This shop distributes many different brands of cosmetics.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 零售, which refers to selling directly to end consumers. While a distributor might also do retail, the term specifically highlights the wholesale or agency aspect of moving goods from a manufacturer.
