Physical goods only
Our International Trade Brokerage Process
A physical commodity transaction is only as strong as the verification behind it.
Equitable Trade Group Ltd. follows a structured process designed to reduce confusion, prevent wasted time, and support legitimate cross-border trade.
Verification, documentation, counterparty discipline
Step 1: Scope
We define the transaction lane: product category, buyer or supplier side, target countries, required documents, estimated volume, commercial role, commission structure, and compliance risks.
Step 2: Mandate
We confirm written authority. A mandate may define product scope, territory, commission terms, duration, confidentiality, non-circumvention, counterparty introduction rules, and limitations on authority.
We do not claim to represent a supplier or buyer without authority.
Step 3: Verification
For suppliers, verification may include capacity, documents, certifications, references, and willingness to permit inspection. For buyers, qualification may include purchase authority, demand, import ability, payment capability, and timeline.
Step 4: Commercial Matching
We align product specification, quantity, price basis, destination, Incoterm, shipment window, inspection requirements, payment instrument, and required documents.
Step 5: Deal Coordination
Depending on the transaction, coordination can involve the supplier, buyer, freight forwarder, customs broker, inspection company, bank or escrow provider, insurance provider, and legal or tax advisors.
Step 6: Documentation
We support clean document flow and communication around pro forma invoice, commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, certificate of analysis or quality document, inspection certificate, transport document, insurance certificate, and commission invoice.
Step 7: Completion and Relationship Building
After completion, the transaction file is archived and the relationship can move toward repeat trade. Our objective is not one lucky deal. Our objective is repeatable, verified, trust-based trade flow.
