Transaction Structuring
KaizenGTC supports the commercial, documentary and procedural structuring of international commodity transactions, organizing the sequence required for clearer coordination among buyers, sellers, representatives and logistics participants. The work is adapted to the product, origin, destination, Incoterm, payment method, required documentation and actual negotiation stage.
Service scope
Commercial, documentary and procedural framework
LOI, ICPO, CIS/KYC and offer
The transaction may progress from the initial request to SCO, FCO, SPA, POP, inspections and shipping documents depending on the stage.
Parties and representatives
The objective is clarity regarding buyer, seller, intermediaries, authorizations, responsibilities and communication channels.
Advance with precision
Structuring reduces operational ambiguity and helps identify missing information before escalating a negotiation.
Incoterms and logistics
CIF, FOB and operating procedures
Delivery to destination port
We review port, destination, transport, insurance, shipping documents, timelines and applicable commercial terms.
Delivery at port of loading
We assess terminal, availability, operating window, nomination, documentation and transfer conditions.
TTT, TTO, TTV or VTV
For fuel transactions, operational modalities such as Tank-to-Tank, Tank Take Over, Tank-to-Vessel or Vessel-to-Vessel may be reviewed where applicable.
Product, port and documentation
The final modality must align with specification, origin, destination, terminal, volume, payment and required documentation.
Transaction sequence
From initial enquiry to documentary close
Clear requirement
The transaction should start with a clear product, volume, frequency, destination, Incoterm, payment method and available corporate documentation.
Offer and terms
The review organizes SCO, FCO, ICPO, CIS/KYC, POF and other documents according to the counterparty’s actual requirements.
SPA and annexes
Once terms are aligned, the commercial consistency of the SPA, annexes, inspections, POP and associated documents is reviewed.
Stage-by-stage follow-up
Coordination enables follow-up on deliverables, timing, responsibilities and next steps while preserving traceability.
