Tesserect connects export-ready producers with qualified international buyers and supports the structured execution of commodity trade transactions, helping our clients access and develop new international markets.

What we do

We connect producers and buyers and support the transaction process for commodity trade and exports.

Pure Conduit Model

Never hold title to goods—only connect parties to pre-existing verification channels.

Document-Driven Execution

Payments require bank-confirmed shipping documents (no discretionary judgment).

Transparent Positioning

We facilitate access to systems where verification occurs.

Facilitation

Transaction security & payment method

We structure transactions to rely on established banking and documentation protocols.

  • Primary payment method: LC (Letter of Credit), issued by a reputable bank and payable strictly against compliant shipping documentation.
  • Commercial terms: CIF or FOB Incoterms, selected based on the agreement’s allocation of freight, insurance, and risk transfer.
  • Inspection: SGS or an equivalent accredited inspection body, where applicable, aligned to the required pre-shipment or documentary conditions.
  • Contractual documentation & compliance: executed contracts, standardized banking documentation, and adherence to applicable regulatory and customs requirements.

Facilitation

Agricultural export pathways

We activate existing verification ecosystems where:

  • Certificates of origin are validated by issuing governments
  • Phytosanitary standards are enforced by regional agricultural departments
  • Customs clearance triggers automatic duty application

We facilitate access to these systems—never substituting for official verification.
