Import & Export Coordination
Coordination for cross-border trade: agreed specifications, documentation and Incoterms for shipments to international buyers.
Scope
What we coordinate
We coordinate the commercial and documentary side of a trade, so that what ships matches what was agreed. Placeholder: Service scope to confirm: import, export or both, and which markets
Agreed specifications
Product, packaging and marking confirmed in writing before the order proceeds.
Incoterms
The delivery term for each order agreed in the quotation, so responsibilities are clear.

Shipment updates
We keep you informed until the shipment leaves under the agreed terms.
Trade coordination
Clear responsibilities on both sides
Cross-border orders involve suppliers, inspectors, forwarders and customs. We keep the agreed specification, documents and delivery term at the centre of every conversation.
- One written record of what was agreed
- Document needs raised before the order, not after
