GOLD BULLION
Define the bullion and its provenance.

Buyer purchasing requirement
PRIVATE · IN-BROWSERChoose your product to see which technical details are most useful.
The generated brief is an initial information summary—not an LOI, proof of funds, purchase contract or verified offer.
PRODUCT GUIDANCE
Different metals.
Different evidence.
Use these brief checklists before requesting or submitting a formal offer. They are prompts for discussion, not independent verification.
STEEL PRODUCTS
Define grade, size and documentation.
Identify product form, grade, standard (such as EN / ASTM where applicable), size and tolerance, mill test certificate, tonnage, production lead time and named delivery point.
Steel market considerationsTRANSACTION FUNDAMENTALS
Terms worth defining early.
Understanding these distinctions helps avoid conversations that cannot progress into a workable transaction.
Agreed delivery rules define cost, risk and responsibility. Always specify the named location and edition, e.g. “Incoterms® 2020”.
Sampling, assay, certificates and independent inspection should be agreed for the specific product and delivery point.
An LOI can set out a buyer's interest and proposed terms, but is not automatically proof of funding or a binding purchase order.
LC, confirmed LC, SBLC and other structures are not interchangeable; issuing bank, conditions and beneficiary matter.
Supplier authority, origin documents, ownership history and sanctions considerations must be assessed on the facts.
Who represents whom, what is payable and when should be documented in the relevant commercial agreements.
