How it works: Our Procedure.

Important for all customers: Our company is international, headquartered in London, United Kingdom. We ship the sugar from Brazil, Santos, Suape and private Brazillians ports. Our company owns controlling shares and controls the production in 20+ Brazilian sugar mills and refineries and we are able to offer you better pricing. As of 2023, we now own 3 Brazillian refineries and are direct to/control the production of 20+ others.

No POP Before Payment Guarantee Instrument As of January 1st 2024, all sugar is shipped directly from the refineries. Sugar stocked on the warehouse is not available, thereby we can not give you POP / Proof of Product before we receive the Payment Guarantee Instrument (DLC/SBLC/Other). Production, Capability, SGS and other proofs are avaible in a bank to bank communication only.

NO SPOT / Yearly Contracts Only: We work only with yearly, 12 months (and above) contracts. Test/Trial shipment is an option and you can choose to opt-out / cancel the contract after the trial. Every SPA contract we issue is a yearly one due to regulatory requirements in the UK. We don't offer high seas sugar.

Acceptable Payment Methods: DLC (Documentary Letter of Credit), SBLC (Standby Letter of Credit), issued or confirmed by World Top 100 rated banks. USANCE (Delayed) Letter of Credits are acceptable by top banks only. Escrow / TT Transfers / Advance Deposits are acceptable.

Past Performance. All of our contracts include NDNCA (Non-Disclosure clausules). Due to legal obligations under the UK Data Protection Act 2018, we DO NOT issue any kind of Past Performance, Past Bill of Lading or similar documents, redacted or otherwise. Please do not request them. Production, Capacity and SGS proofs are available in a bank to bank process once the SPA contract is signed between buyer and seller.

Performance Bond. We do issue Performance Bond of 2% right after the buyer's DLC is successfully accepted by the seller's bank (upon the block of funds).
