PRESERVING THE QUALITY AND INTEGRITY OF YOUR INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS

International trade is on the rise and involves an increasing number of stakeholders including traders, brokers, banks, insurance companies and public bodies at both national and international levels. In any transaction where goods are bought and sold, there is a transfer of ownership. This is made more complicated by the fact that the transaction is taking place across different countries. Various parties need an independent third party ensure the conformity of goods.
