The Seller / Title Holder expects full transparency from potential Buyers. Transparency and credibility can be proven to some extent by the documents provided by the Buyer at the very beginning.
The way a Seller/Title holder expects full transparency from potential Buyers, the Buyers too want this gesture reciprocated by the Seller/Title Holder.

These documents can be easily verified and can prove that our Seller holds the title to all offered products, export licenses(where necessary) and other relevant documents. This means that throughout the process both Buyer and Seller are obtaining more credible information about each other.
Our expert team will remain associated with the entire process from exchange of necessary documents up to the closure of the deal (delivery at the destination port and payment to seller included).

This is a very important message to anyone involved in the commodities industry on the new measures with respect to Buyers and Sellers conducting transactions.
From now on, if an ICPO, LOI, RWA, or BCL is issued and the document is not real, true and/or actually verifiably factual, the Seller will be able to inform the FBI, ICC, and INTERPOL. In addition, after a CI is sent to the Buyer, there should be a formal answer to Seller from Buyer in a timely manner in accordance with the agreement between parties.
If there is no response from the Buyer in a timely manner, the buying company will be reported to the FBI, ICC and INTERPOL. If this action is repeated by sellers, they too will also be reported for abuse of the NCND, LOI, ICPO, AND RWA OR BCL, and FOR THIS IS NOW A FEDERAL OFFENSE.
It is important to transmit this to all clients that work with providers that are members of the ICC, FBI, and other international organizations. From this point forward, the international codes will be strictly enforced to exclude all intruders that send or transmit false information. Those who submit a false NCND/IMFPA, LOI, ICPO, RWA or BCL, or FCO, as well as FALSE PROOF OF PRODUCT (POP), FALSE PROOF OF FUNDS (POF) WILL BE CHARGED WITH A CRIME.
