2. Coordination – Shipment planning with shipping lines, storage partners, and cargo handlers to keep product movement controlled and commercially practical.
3. Payment – Structured payment methods aligned with the contract.
4. Delivery – Structured commodity transactions aligned with agreed commercial terms, destination requirements, and delivery windows.

Payment Methods
