The live offer confirms the mill or seller, origin, specification, quantity, packing and shipment programme. No volume or refinery suitability is assumed before technical review.
Origin and delivery planning
Suitable origins are assessed against the buyer’s specification, quantity, shipment window, destination and landed economics. The live offer identifies the proposed producer or seller, country of origin, load point, quantity and route.
Each proposed transaction is reviewed using the actual origin, counterparties, banks, vessel or carrier, route and destination.
The parties select the appropriate Incoterms® 2020 rule only after confirming the transport mode and exact named port or place.
Inspection and destination requirements
Typical documents may include a certificate of analysis, certificate of origin, weight or draft-survey evidence, independent inspection and transport documents. The buyer must also confirm that its refinery and receiving arrangements are appropriate for the selected grade and format.
Product, import, inspection, customs and documentation requirements are confirmed for the actual destination, importer and declared end use.
