FAQ

To guarantee fully secure, transparent and compliant transactions, we implement a strict operational framework that includes:

KYC & AML Internal Policies – Due Diligence – We verify counterparties, documentation, regulatory requirements, and supply‑chain integrity before any commercial engagement.

Financial Security – International operations are carried out under standard financial mechanisms used in global trade.

The primary payment modality will be:
IRREVOCABLE, CONFIRMED, AND AT‑SIGHT LETTER OF CREDIT (LC)

LC Characteristics:
• Issued by a recognized international bank
• Confirmed by a first‑tier bank
• Governed by UCP 600 – ICC Rules
• Payable upon presentation of compliant documents

Operational Condition:
The Letter of Credit must be confirmed and accepted by the seller’s bank prior to initiating the operational process. Once the L/C confirmation has been received and verified by our bank, the logistical and cargo preparation process will begin.
Alternatively, the parties may agree to use other internationally accepted banking instruments commonly used in commodity trade.

Governmental inspections & certifications (Ecuador):
AGROCALIDAD – For plant products and Agri‑exports (e.g., coffee, cocoa, fruits), we follow the Phytosanitary Certification process, a mandatory document accompanying shipments to destination markets.  
This ensures products meet sanitary and safety requirements under Ecuador’s legal framework for agro‑food quality and primary production. 
ARCOM (Mining Regulation & Control) – For minerals & derivatives, we comply with the Regulation for the Control of Mineral Exports which strengthens traceability, origin verification, and technical control of mineral exports and requires a Mineral Export Certificate to ensure lawful, transparent operations. 

These partners ensure accuracy, volume verification, quality confirmation, and full supply‑chain security from origin to final delivery. 

Transparent and continuous communication- We maintain open communication channels across the transaction lifecycle, providing updates, documentation, inspection results, and shipment tracking.
