We assess mandates across agricultural goods, responsibly sourced minerals, construction materials, equipment and selected consumer or industrial products. Acceptance depends on specifications, legal origin, traceability, sanctions and compliance.

Yes, when we can verify suppliers and the export pathway in each market. We confirm country coverage before accepting a multi-country mandate.

Where possible, we identify producers, manufacturers, cooperatives or authorised exporters. The appropriate counterparty depends on the product, export licensing and required volumes.

Yes. The brief must define specifications, standards, certification, packaging, volume, target price, destination and timetable before suppliers are approached.

There is no single ASI minimum. The supplier, product, production method, packaging and freight economics determine the practical minimum order.

Checks can include registration, operating status, ownership information, business activity, references, capacity, export experience, bank-detail consistency and direct contact with decision-makers.

Yes. We can coordinate a factory or warehouse visit after initial documentary checks. Technical or laboratory inspection may require an independent specialist.

Yes, as a risk-based commercial and documentary review. We can check the corporate counterparty and beneficial owners; mining title or operating-licence holder and validity; seller mandate; authority to market and export; tax, customs and sanctions/AML status; legal origin and traceability; production or allocation evidence; consistency of the offer, invoice, contract and bank details; and the proposed logistics chain. For a transaction, the actual lot should be subject to independent weight and assay by an agreed inspector, with payment and document conditions written into the SPA. Specialist legal, geological, responsible-sourcing and laboratory opinions remain separate professional work.

ASI performs commercial verification and can coordinate qualified legal, financial, technical or compliance specialists when formal due diligence is required.
