Minerals & Metals Export Trading Inquiries
Detailed guidance on assay verification, minimum order quantities, secure payment escrow, and transport logistics.
How does Agro Metal verify the purity and chemical assay of exported minerals?
All export parcels undergo dual-party verification: on-site XRF and Fire Assay testing at our Nairobi and Dar es Salaam facilities, followed by mandatory independent pre-shipment sampling and testing by internationally accredited inspection agencies (SGS, Alex Stewart International, Alfred H Knight, or Intertek). Full Certificates of Analysis (CoA) accompany every consignment.
What are the standard Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) across commodity divisions?
For Precious Metals (Gold Doré and Bullion), the standard MOQ is 25 kg to 50 kg per air shipment. For Gemstones, wholesale parcels start at 500 carats. For Critical Battery Minerals (Coltan, Lithium, Graphite) and Base Metals (Copper Cathodes, Concentrates), the standard MOQ is 1 x 20ft Heavy Tested FCL (20 to 26 Metric Tons) or charter breakbulk lots.
What trade finance and settlement mechanisms does Agro Metal accept?
We trade under Incoterms 2020 (FCA, FOB, CFR, CIF). We accept Confirmed Irrevocable Letters of Credit (L/C at Sight) issued by Top-50 prime international banks, Bank-to-Bank Escrow facilities, or Telegraphic Transfer (T/T). Pricing can be pegged to LME, LBMA, Fastmarkets, or fixed contract formulas.
How do you ensure OECD Due Diligence and Conflict-Free mineral compliance?
Agro Metal enforces strict compliance with the OECD 5-Step Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (CAHRAs), the ICGLR Regional Certification Mechanism (RCM), and ITSCI barcode tagging for 3TG minerals (Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten, Gold). Every parcel carries clear mine-of-origin provenance and valid royalty clearance documentation.
What security protocols are deployed for precious cargo and bullion transport?
Precious metals and high-value gemstone parcels are transported via armored, armed-escort vehicles directly from secure holding vaults to international airport tarmac (JKIA Nairobi or JNIA Dar es Salaam) in partnership with premier global security couriers (Brink's, Malca-Amit, G4S). Full Lloyd's marine cargo all-risk insurance (110% CIF value) is bound prior to departure.
Can prospective buyers request physical mineral samples prior to contracting?
Yes. Qualified commercial buyers with verified corporate credentials and proof of processing capability can request certified 500g to 2kg representative assay samples for laboratory analysis. Samples are dispatched via secure DHL/FedEx courier accompanied by provisional XRF test sheets.
