What to do
This deal is done – use it as a buying signal. The buyer imports this product, often on a regular cycle, so competing suppliers can prepare for its next tender. The shipment itself will need vessels and freight, inspection and testing, cargo insurance, trade finance, port handling and customs services.

- Verify the counterparty's company registration, address, website domain and bank independently.
- Screen all parties against sanctions lists (UN, OFAC, EU, UK) and check export/import licences.
- Use independent inspection (quality & quantity) and secure payment such as a confirmed L/C – never pay advance fees to unknown parties.
- Put everything in a written contract with Incoterms® 2020, specs, inspection, payment and dispute terms.
