The chain

From contract to buyer

1 Supplier contract
01 · Supplier contractWe agree specification, volume, price and terms with you, and we sign. Specification is what the cargo is measured against at discharge, so we fix it in the contract before anything is booked.

Specification and terms, fixed before booking.

2 Secured payment
02 · Secured paymentTransactions are structured on documentary terms, with payments secured through confirmed letters of credit. We put the instrument in place before you load.

Confirmed letters of credit, before you load.

3 Commercial documents
03 · Commercial documentsWe check your invoice, packing list and certificates against the credit and the contract before you present them. A bank rejects on a detail, and a rejected set of documents holds up your payment.

Checked against the credit before you present.

4 Shipment booking
04 · Shipment bookingWho books depends on the terms. When the freight is ours we arrange it with the carrier and confirm the sailing date; when it is yours, we follow your booking.

Ours or yours, we follow the booking.

5 Ocean freight
05 · Ocean freightWe follow the vessel from load port to discharge, and the shipping documents with it. If a bill of lading needs correcting, we catch it while the cargo is still at sea, not after the bank has it.

Load port to discharge, documents with it.

6 Port & inspection
06 · Port & inspectionWe take delivery at the discharge port and attend inspection, sampling and weighing alongside the appointed surveyors. Quality and quantity are documented before a single truck moves. A slow discharge costs demurrage, and we watch the clock day by day.

Inspection, sampling and weighing at the quay.

7 Customs & licensing
07 · Customs & licensingWe hold the import licensing and run the clearance process ourselves: customs, GOEIC import control, agricultural quarantine and NFSA food-safety documentation. Paperwork is where cargo gets stuck in Egypt; it is the part we manage most closely.

Licensing and clearance run by our team.

8 Delivery or storage
08 · Delivery or storageCargo can be discharged straight into the buyer's trucks at the port, or stored through partner facilities when the market or the buyer calls for it. Both models are live. We do not own silos: we arrange the capacity, and we tell you upfront which one your cargo is on.

Straight to the trucks, or stored.

9 B2B distribution
09 · B2B distributionWe place the cargo with flour mills, feed producers, oil crushers and food manufacturers, serving private and public sector buyers. The relationships already exist; we are not building a client list around your first shipment.

Mills, feed producers, oil crushers.

The market

The detail

The six parts of the job

These six are the same operation grouped by domain, each one with its own documents and its own way of going wrong.

Contracting

Payment conditions, delivery terms, the list of documents you will have to produce: we settle all of it in the purchase contract with you. After signature we follow the purchase order and the shipping arrangements that come with it.

Banking

Documentary letters of credit and collections, letters of guarantee, transfers: we arrange the instrument the deal calls for. When a credit reaches you with terms your contract does not carry, we get it amended.

Shipping

The bills of lading, the shipping instructions, the delivery orders and the arrival notices all come through us. We track the sailing date and the expected arrival, and you hear about a change the day we do.

Port and inland

We schedule port handling, unloading and inland transport, and we keep the terminal, the warehouse and the trucks lined up so that one is not waiting on another. We follow the cargo through to its final delivery point.

Customs

We follow the customs file through examination, valuation, tariff classification, duties, permits and release. The tariff line and the customs value decide the duty, and when customs comes back for more, we answer.

Document control

Commercial, banking and shipping documents have to say the same thing, line by line: description, quantity, value, the numbers on the bill of lading. Each can be right on its own and still contradict the next, so we read them against each other.
