Services

From sourcing to your dock — handled as one contract.

What The Desk Handles

Five services, one point of contact

01

Sourcing & Procurement

We identify and vet suppliers against the buyer's specification — grade, tonnage, packing and delivery window — and negotiate contract terms on the buyer's behalf.

02

Quality Inspection & Assurance

Loading is coordinated with independent surveyors who verify weight, grade and packaging before the bill of lading is issued, with reports shared ahead of shipment.

03

Logistics & Freight

Container and bulk booking, port handling and customs clearance are arranged under FOB, CFR or CIF terms, with tracking shared through to discharge port.

04

Trade Finance & Contracts

Sale contracts, letters of credit and telegraphic transfer terms are structured to match the buyer's payment and risk requirements.

05

Warehousing & Distribution

Where buyers need staged delivery, material can be held at bonded or port-side warehousing in China, ahead of shipment instructions.

How A Trade Runs
