Quality, customs and reliability
Compliance is not an administrative step: it is the backbone of our model. It protects our clients, our suppliers and our relationship with banks and authorities.
Quality
Control before shipping
Every reference follows a defined quality path, from the factory to the container.
Supplier audit
Documentary pre-qualification then a visit or quality audit: capacity, process, internal control, export references.
Master samples
Validation of reference samples before any order, kept as the benchmark for subsequent shipments.
Pre-shipment inspection
Sampling control before loading: quantity, packaging, marking and conformity to specifications.
Customs
Mastering codes, origin and duties
- HS codes (Harmonised System) — correct tariff classification of every reference.
- Origin — certificates of origin and supply-chain documentation.
- Duties & VAT — transparent calculation of customs duties and import VAT.
- Customs clearance — partner customs brokers, tracking through to release.
Documentary trade
Instruments that secure both parties
We operate using the proven instruments of international trade, in liaison with our bank.
Letter of credit (LC)
A documentary payment guarantee for the supplier and document conformity for the buyer.
Bills of lading & titles
Ocean bills of lading, waybills and freight documents handled with rigour.
Insurance & cover
Transport insurance and buyer credit-risk management to secure every flow.
Product compliance: for every reference, we verify the applicable regulatory compliance — CE marking and REACH obligations where applicable — and we retain the corresponding documentation. Our scope remains strictly limited to non-regulated products.
