How We Trade Bleuvant Global

Our Trading Process

At Bleuvant Global, every transaction is managed with a structured, transparent, and professionally executed process. Our expertise in CIF transactions means we take full responsibility for coordinating freight, insurance, and documentation — giving buyers confidence from contract to delivery.

01

Buyer Qualification

Before any commercial offer is extended, Bleuvant Global undertakes a qualification of the prospective buyer. This is not a procedural courtesy — it is a commercial necessity. We engage only with counterparties who possess the verified capacity to perform within internationally recognised trade frameworks. Qualification requires the submission of an Irrevocable Corporate Purchase Order (ICPO), accompanied by proof of the buyer’s legal standing, financial instruments capability, and — where applicable — end-user documentation. This step protects the integrity of the supply chain and ensures that allocated product reaches its intended destination.

02

Full Corporate Offer (FCO)

Upon successful qualification, Bleuvant Global issues a Full Corporate Offer (FCO). This document constitutes a formal, time-bound offer confirming product specification, available volume, pricing basis, delivery terms, load port, and the financial instrument required for settlement. The FCO is issued in good faith and represents a genuine supply position. The buyer is required to acknowledge and return the FCO — signed and sealed — within the validity period stipulated. Failure to respond within the stated timeline will result in the offer lapsing and the allocation being released.

03

Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA)

The Sales and Purchase Agreement is the legally binding framework that governs the entirety of the transaction. It is executed following the mutual acceptance of the FCO and encompasses all commercial, logistical, financial, and documentary terms agreed between the parties. The SPA defines, without ambiguity: the product, the volume, the price, the delivery schedule, the inspection protocol, the payment mechanism, the governing law, and the dispute resolution procedure. No transaction proceeds to the logistics and financial phase without a fully executed SPA in place.

04

Financial Instrument Issuance

In accordance with the terms of the SPA, the buyer arranges for the issuance of the agreed financial instrument — either an Irrevocable Documentary Letter of Credit (LC, MT700) or a Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC, MT760) — issued by a first-class international bank and transmitted via authenticated SWIFT. Bleuvant Global does not commence logistics operations — vessel nomination, cargo scheduling, or load port coordination — prior to confirmation of the financial instrument. This sequencing is non-negotiable and applies to all transactions regardless of the buyer’s standing or the tenure of the commercial relationship.

05

Inspection and Loading

Independent inspection at the port of loading is conducted by SGS, Bureau Veritas, or an equivalent internationally recognised inspection authority, appointed by mutual agreement. The inspection covers product quality, conformity to specification, and quantity verification. The inspection report is binding on both parties and constitutes the evidentiary basis for the cargo’s compliance with the contracted specification. The Bill of Lading is issued upon completion of loading and confirmation of the inspection report.

06

Settlement and Delivery

Upon presentation of the full set of shipping documents — Bill of Lading, SGS Inspection Certificate, Certificate of Origin, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and any additionally stipulated documents — payment is effected against the confirmed LC or SBLC in accordance with the terms of the SPA. The cargo is delivered to the agreed discharge port within the contracted laycan. Bleuvant Global maintains communication with all logistics parties throughout the voyage and provides the buyer with regular updates on estimated arrival and discharge scheduling. 

07

Delivery

The commodity is delivered to the buyer’s designated port of destination. Risk and title transfer to the buyer upon delivery at the agreed discharge port, as per CIF INCOTERMS.

Accepted Payment Instruments

Irrevocable Letter of Credit (MT700), Standby Letter of Credit (MT760). Transmitted via authenticated SWIFT from a rated international financial institution.

Trade Standards & Compliance

All transactions are conducted in compliance with INCOTERMS 2020, international trade regulations, and applicable commodity inspection standards. Bleuvant Global works with internationally accredited inspection agencies such as SGS, Intertek, and Bureau Veritas to ensure product quality and quantity are independently verified at load port.
