Trade your recycled metals. We handle the rest.
Inspection, payment, freight, customs and documentation are ours to run and ours to answer for. Wherever the buyer is.
What is in place before a container moves
- Company, ownership and sanctions checks on both sides
- Payment placed in escrow, released against contract milestones
- Independent inspection and assay before loading
- One contract covering inspection, freight, customs and documentation
Four things go wrong in this trade. We take all four off your desk.
What changes is who carries the risk when it happens.
01 What usually happens
You ship, then you chase the money.
Funds are secured before the container moves.
Payment is placed using escrow, and released against milestones written into the contract.
02 What usually happens
The grade is disputed on arrival.
Grade is fixed at your yard, before loading.
Independent inspection and assay by [INSPECTION PARTNER], agreed by both parties before the container is sealed. The umpire procedure for any dispute is in the contract from day one.
03 What usually happens
One trade needs five different providers.
One contract. One number to call.
Inspection, freight, customs, payment and documentation are ours to coordinate and ours to answer for.
04 What usually happens
You can only sell to the people you already know.
We bring the buyers you would never be introduced to.
Qualified buyer relationships across [MARKETS], without you opening an office, a bank account or a customs file abroad.
How a trade runs
Five steps, in the same order on each trade, from the first call through to discharge.
- 01
We qualify both sides.
Company registration, beneficial ownership, sanctions screening and trade licences on every counterparty, before anything is quoted.
- 02
We quote.
A firm offer against the day’s benchmark, adjusted for grade, packing, location and freight. The offer holds for [N] hours.
- 03
We verify the material.
Independent inspection and assay at the seller’s yard before loading, with the result agreed by both parties. Method matched to the material.
- 04
Funds are secured.
Payment is placed in escrow and released against the milestones in the contract.
- 05
We move it.
Booking, export and import documentation, customs clearance and tracking through to discharge.
Built for both sides of the trade
Buying or selling, the same work sits between an agreed price and a settled trade. We do that work, and we carry it if it goes wrong.
Smelters, manufacturers and refiners
- Verified before it ships.
- Independent inspection and assay at source, agreed by both parties before the container is sealed.
- Payment placed in escrow.
- Funds are placed in escrow and released against the milestones written into the contract, so payment follows the material.
- Papers that arrive with the material.
- Where it came from, who handled it, how it was processed, and the certificates that go with it.
- Landed, not just bought.
- Booking, customs clearance and documentation run through to your gate, from yards you would not reach on your own.
Why one managed desk beats five separate providers
A cross-border trade usually means an inspector, a freight forwarder, a customs broker, a bank and whoever ends up holding the paperwork. Five relationships, five contracts, and no single party accountable for the outcome.
- A firm price, quickly.
- We quote against the day’s benchmark and hold the offer for [N] hours. No auction, no waiting on a chain of brokers.
- One agreement instead of five.
- The providers a trade is normally split between sit behind a single contract with us, so there is one set of terms, one invoice and one desk that has to answer when a date slips.
- Documentation that travels with the shipment.
- Origin, chain of custody, processing route and the certificates that travel with the shipment, compiled as the trade runs rather than reconstructed afterwards.
