A commodity transaction is a set of obligations that must survive contact with a port, an inspector, a bank and a foreign exchange. Description is the least reliable part of it. Quantity, quality, delivery point, timing and payment each need to be stated and then evidenced.
AQUAMERGE structures physical trade on the terms that can be verified: specification confirmed by Certificate of Analysis, inspection by an independent third party at loading, Incoterms agreed in advance and payment through documentary instruments. Both counterparties are screened before any exchange takes place.
Where a buyer requires supply security rather than a single cargo, the mandate covers the term structure, the allocation and the logistics behind it — held by one party rather than split between brokers.
We say so rather than substitute. If a specification, a volume or a delivery date cannot be met, it is stated before signature.
Two products, currently supplied.
Both are offered from established Canadian producers through the AQUAMERGE network, with specification confirmed per shipment.
Other inputs
Industrial and agricultural inputs assessed case by case, on the same verification, inspection and payment discipline.
What the structuring covers.
Agreed in sequence. Each part is documented before the next is committed.
- 01
Off-take and supply agreements
Volume, quality, delivery period and pricing basis agreed for a term rather than a single shipment, with the allocation reserved against the contract.
- 02
SPA structuring
Sales and purchase agreements drafted around the commercial terms actually agreed, including quality tolerances and remedies.
- 03
KYC and AML on both sides
Identity, ownership and end use screened on buyer and seller before any commercial exchange or bank instrument is opened.
- 04
Independent inspection
Third-party inspection and sampling at loading, with sealed analysis retained and certificates released with the documents.
- 05
Incoterms and logistics
Delivery terms agreed in advance, with freight, loading point and discharge port specified rather than left to the carrier.
- 06
Payment instruments
Documentary letters of credit and standby letters of credit arranged with issuing banks acceptable to both sides.
Five steps from enquiry to discharge.
- 01
Inquiry & KYC
Product, volume, destination and end use. Identity and AML screening before terms are discussed.
- 02
Specification & pricing
Specification confirmed against Certificate of Analysis; pricing set on the agreed Incoterm and period.
- 03
Contract (SPA)
Agreement covering quality, quantity, delivery terms and payment instrument, with tolerances stated.
- 04
Inspection & loading
Independent inspection at loading, with sampling and sealed analysis retained.
- 05
Delivery & documentation
Documents released against payment and presented on the agreed Incoterm.
Transactions are subject to KYC and AML screening and executed contracts. Nothing on this page constitutes a binding offer to buy or sell any commodity.
Terms stated plainly, then evidenced.
Verified specification
Every cargo is documented against its Certificate of Analysis and an independent inspection at loading.
Counterparties screened
KYC and AML on both sides, with end use declared, before any instrument is opened.
Payment structured
Documentary instruments agreed with banks acceptable to both sides, so release of documents is tied to payment.
One counterparty for the chain
Sourcing, contract, inspection and logistics held under a single mandate rather than split between agents.
