Every deal follows a clear, internationally recognised procedure that protects both buyer and seller. The exact steps may be tailored to the product, Incoterms and payment instrument agreed, but our process generally follows the stages below.
The buyer submits an enquiry (LOI / ICPO) stating product, quantity, specifications and destination. We respond with a soft corporate offer (SCO).
Both parties review and agree commercial terms — price, quantity, Incoterms, delivery schedule and payment instrument.
A draft sales & purchase agreement (SPA) is issued, signed by both parties and lodged where required. Terms become binding.
The seller provides proof of product (POP) and verification documents confirming availability and ownership of the commodity.
The buyer arranges the agreed financial instrument — documentary letter of credit (DLC), SBLC or other terms set out in the contract.
An independent inspector (e.g. SGS) verifies quantity and quality at the loading point, issuing a certified report.
The commodity is loaded and shipped. Transport, insurance and documentation are coordinated through to the destination.
On delivery and presentation of shipping documents, payment is released and the transaction is completed.
We carry out due diligence on counterparties before any deal proceeds.
FOB, CIF, CFR and other terms available depending on the transaction.
Bank-to-bank instruments and documentary credits protect both sides.
Internationally recognised inspectors confirm quality and quantity.
Complete, compliant paperwork accompanies every shipment.
Procedures adapt to the specific product and route agreed.
