How a trade runs
The same sequence for every deal, from a single container of concentrate to a full bulk cargo.
Enquiry
You tell us the commodity, quantity, specification, delivery terms and port.
Counterparty checks
Before any commercial terms, we run KYC, anti-money-laundering and sanctions checks on every buyer and supplier.
Sourcing
We match the requirement with a producer or buyer from our network and confirm the material is available to specification.
Commercial agreement
Price basis, specification, penalties, delivery window and payment terms are set out in a written contract.
Inspection and documents
An independent inspection company samples and assays the material at the loading port. Shipping documents are prepared for the contract.
Logistics
Freight, port handling and export formalities are coordinated so the cargo moves on the agreed schedule.
Settlement
Payment follows the contract terms, such as a letter of credit or payment against documents, adjusted to final assay where applicable.
Depending on the transaction, BLV Trading acts either as principal, buying and reselling the material, or as intermediary between producer and buyer. Our role is stated in each contract.
Checks on every counterparty and every lot
Know your counterparty
KYC and anti-money-laundering checks on every buyer and supplier before a contract is signed.
Sanctions screening
Counterparties are screened against international sanctions lists before we trade with them.
Independent inspection
Material is sampled and assayed by an independent inspection company at the loading port.
