Export operations & terms
Incoterms, documentation and payment structures that keep a shipment moving and a relationship intact.
The problem
Deals die in operations. The wrong Incoterm, a missing certificate, or payment terms neither side can actually carry turn a good margin into a demurrage bill.
How I work
- Match the Incoterm to who genuinely controls each leg, not to habit.
- Build the document pack up front: certificates, analysis, origin, insurance.
- Structure payment so both sides carry risk in proportion to control.
- Run a single point of contact per shipment; no silent handoffs.
What changes
Fewer surprises at the port, and terms a buyer is willing to repeat.
Reliable supply, verifiable quality, terms that hold.
