PROCEDURES FOR BUYERS “PROOF OF FUNDS” & OUR SUPPLIERS “PROOF OF PRODUCT”

 

OPTION 1

Our Supplier can provide a partial POP (Proof of Product) in form of an AFFIDAVIT, CONFIRMED BY THE SELLERS BANK. This will be supplied AFTER the Buyers Bank issues a BANK COMFORT LETTER (BCL), which confirms that the buyer has the financial means and capacity to proceed with the proposed transaction (Proof of Funds). You can request a sample BCL from our mandates or brokers, which needs to be provided to us in order to proceed to contract stage.

Or (Read carefully)

 

OPTION 2

Our Supplier will issues full POP on a NON-ACTIVE L/C alone, before the operative LC of the buyer! Full POP is a bank to bank instrument and includes ports of loading, delivery schedule etc. We put our money where our mouth is and our suppliers’ contracts will reflect their firm intent and ability to do business and provide real cement at real prices.

These procedures above GUARANTEE that we know we are dealing with a solvent and potential buyer and in return it ensures that the buyer and the buyer’s bank are fully aware that the seller is A GENUINE & DIRECT SELLER and has the capacity and financial standing to deliver the quantity of Portland Cement as ordered. We put our money where our mouth is and our suppliers’ contracts will reflect their firm intent and ability to do business and provide real cement at real prices. Can you pay for the Commodity?

Cement broker’s management

International

CBM International is a company that SPECIALISES in the supply of cement and clinker.CBM International is not a general trading company, like so many suppliers of commodities who try to deal in all commodities hoping just to find that one deal but yet not specialising in any one area.

CBM International was established only after years of relationship building with end suppliers who were supplying our group of companies for our own construction projects. We have in recent years been inundated with request from other companies who had been victims of unscrupulous and unreliable sellers, asking us to assist them in the supply cement and related products because they were aware of our relationships with our end suppliers. We resisted in doing so until we were SURE we were able to speak to buyers with complete confidence about our supply chain ….and more importantly commit our time and resources in ensuring that we would deliver our commitments to our buyers.

Specialising in the supply of cement and clinker we believe speaks volumes about our commitment and belief in not only the products we are supplying, but also the confidence we have in our supply chain, in terms of the availability of our allocations, the quality of our products, the reliability of delivery and shipping, and the ability to secure very competitive prices, which are ALWAYS passed on to our BUYERS.

Through master contract agreements with our group of  mills globally, we are therefore able to handle and supply large quantity orders at competitive pricing, ensuring effective delivery in the current unstable cement market. Through our supply chain we have capacity to supply Millions of Metric Tons of cement per month
