International deals without losing money or control

No, ORBIS GLOBAL TRADE is not a broker, trader, or intermediary. We do not sell goods and do not work "on commission without responsibility". ORBIS is the architect of the deal: we structure the process, control the risks, and ensure security. We manage the deal system rather than trade goods.

Deal structuring is the creation of a system in which the interests of all parties are protected. ORBIS develops: a payment model (safe for both the buyer and the supplier), contract terms, risk allocation, and a performance monitoring mechanism. A deal is not just a contact — it is a managed system.

Supplier verification (due diligence) includes: verifying the company (registration, licenses), inspecting the factory (production capacity, quality), analyzing export readiness (export experience, documentation), and assessing reputation. We conduct on-site inspections, request documents, and analyze track records.

ORBIS designs a payment structure that minimizes risks: secure prepayment schemes, letters of credit, milestone-based payments tied to stages of performance. We do not hold the client's money — we create a structure in which funds are protected by the contract and by performance monitoring.

SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) is an international company that performs independent inspections of goods quality and quantity. SGS verifies that goods match the contract specifications, conducts pre-shipment inspections, and performs quality control. ORBIS coordinates the SGS inspection at every stage.

SGS, Bureau Veritas, and Intertek are the three largest international inspection companies. SGS is strong in agriculture and industry, Bureau Veritas in marine inspection and certification, and Intertek in consumer goods and electronics. ORBIS selects the optimal inspector for the type of goods.

Signing a contract involves: (1) verifying the supplier, (2) agreeing commercial terms (price, volume, timelines), (3) choosing Incoterms (FOB, CIF, EXW, DAP), (4) defining payment terms, (5) signing the contract. ORBIS supports every stage, ensuring the legal integrity of the deal.

The core documents are: a commercial invoice, a packing list, a bill of lading (Bill of Lading) or air waybill, a certificate of origin (Certificate of Origin), an export declaration, and quality certificates (as required). ORBIS monitors the completeness and accuracy of all documents.

The cost depends on the scope of the verification: basic company verification, an extended check with a factory visit, or full due diligence with an inspection. ORBIS offers a transparent pricing structure after a case assessment.

Trade structuring (deal structuring) is the creation of a system in which the interests of all parties are protected: the payment model, contract terms, risk allocation, and a performance monitoring mechanism. ORBIS develops a structure for each specific case.

Yes, a letter of credit (Letter of Credit) is one of the safest payment instruments in international trade. The buyer's bank opens a letter of credit in favor of the supplier, and payment is made upon presentation of the documents. ORBIS helps with bank selection and arranging the letter of credit.

Shipment monitoring includes: logistics coordination, document verification (invoices, packing lists, certificates), and interaction among all parties (supplier, buyer, forwarder, customs). ORBIS monitors the process so that goods are shipped on time and in accordance with the contract.

Trade support includes: (1) supplier verification, (2) deal structuring, (3) inspection coordination (SGS/BV/Intertek), (4) contract performance monitoring, (5) logistics coordination, (6) resolution of operational issues. A full cycle of deal support.

ORBIS provides ongoing trade support for companies with regular shipments. This includes: process management, quality control, logistics coordination, and resolution of operational issues. We become your external deal control department.

The ORBIS trade circle is a closed network of verified suppliers and buyers with whom we work on an ongoing basis. All circle members undergo verification. Joining the trade circle is by recommendation or after successful deals.

ORBIS works across various industries: textiles and apparel, food products, furniture and construction materials, cosmetics, and industrial equipment. We adapt our approach to the specifics of each industry: certification, logistics, and quality control requirements.

The main risks: (1) a dishonest supplier, (2) goods failing to meet quality standards, (3) shipment delays, (4) documentation problems, (5) currency risks, (6) customs risks. ORBIS minimizes each risk through supplier verification, inspections, proper contract structure, and performance monitoring.

In the event of a breach, ORBIS coordinates the response: documenting the violations (inspections, documents), negotiating with the supplier, applying contractual penalties, and finding alternative solutions. We manage the process of protecting the buyer's interests.

For imports from Turkey to Russia, the following apply: import duty (depending on the HS code, from 0% to 25%), VAT (20%), and customs fees. Uniform tariffs apply across the EAEU countries. ORBIS assists with tax calculations and customs clearance.

The structuring process: (1) analyzing the parties' needs, (2) selecting the optimal payment model, (3) developing contract terms, (4) defining monitoring mechanisms, (5) alignment with both parties, (6) supporting performance. Every stage is documented and controlled.
