Trading guidelines · Incoterms · Export documentation
Everything international buyers need to understand before a shipment moves—from cost and risk transfer to payment, inspection, and the final document set.
How we trade
Our standard export conversation begins with FOB Port of Douala, with CFR, CIF, and EXW structures considered when they fit the buyer, route, and commodity.
Incoterms® 2020 define where cost and risk transfer. They do not define title, payment timing, governing law, inspection rights, or product acceptance; those points belong in the quotation and sales contract.
Incoterms® 2020
The named port or place is essential. Each quotation states the selected rule and location so both parties can see exactly what is included.
Terra Source prepares, clears, and delivers the cargo aboard the buyer-nominated vessel at the named port. Risk transfers once the goods are on board.
Terra Source arranges and pays main carriage to the named destination port. Risk still transfers when the cargo is loaded at origin.
Similar to CFR, with the seller also arranging the contractually specified minimum marine insurance cover.
The buyer takes responsibility from the named origin location, including collection, export handling, main carriage, and destination activity.
Payment alignment
Availability depends on order value, counterparty review, banking requirements, shipment history, and the commercial program.
Bank transfer against the agreed proforma invoice and payment schedule. Cleared funds are confirmed before the related release milestone.
Irrevocable documentary credit may be considered for qualifying transactions, subject to acceptable issuing bank, terms, and document conditions.
Documents against payment or acceptance may be discussed for established relationships where the program and risk profile support it.
Shipment file
The required document set is confirmed before shipment. Destination rules, buyer instructions, commodity, and selected Incoterm determine the final file.
Transaction parties, commodity, quantity, currency, Incoterm, and named destination.
Package count, net and gross weights, lot references, marks, and packing configuration.
Carrier-issued transport document reflecting shipment and consignee instructions.
Origin record prepared through the applicable issuing process when required.
Program-specific plant-health and treatment records where the commodity or market requires them.
Specification, weight, grade, laboratory, or third-party inspection records agreed for the order.
Before product moves
Product, specification, volume, packing, destination, timing, and preferred trade structure.
Company details, authority, destination, payment path, and communication channels are verified.
Quote validity, Incoterm, named place, quantities, shipment window, and document assumptions are issued.
Samples, inspection expectations, packing, marks, and any certifications are aligned in writing.
The signed or accepted terms and confirmed payment milestone authorize sourcing and shipment preparation.
