New Services Offered by Timber Exchange
- Cargo Inspection: When we receive a request from an exporter or importer for cargo inspection, an experienced inspector is sent to the location who will check visible and physically reachable bundles. In this process, individual bundles will be randomly checked to determine the quality of the cargo overall. Once done, we will prepare a report with the quality, dimension, and moisture inspection results and submit the same within 48 hours.
- Letter of Credit Management & Remittance: Our team consists of highly experienced and trained trade-finance professionals to manage the L/C and documentation process for your company. This service includes outsourcing the negotiation of L/C terms by nominating Timber Exchange as an exporter and an L/C beneficiary on all documents. Once nominated, Timber Exchange will draft and cross-check all shipping documents to ensure full compliance with the contract and L/C before submitting them to the bank. The client is asked to submit a proforma invoice, contract and other relevant information for Timber Exchange to be able to complete the process within the stipulated time at a nominal fee.
- Shipping Document Compliance & Legalization: The in-house compliance officer at Timber Exchange will review all shipping documents to identify potential discrepancies. The final report of the same will be provided by us within 48 hours. The officer will also visit a requested chamber or embassy for the legalization of the aforesaid documents on your behalf. The compliance officer will submit and pick up your documents from the requested institution. The turnaround depends on each institution and our nominated courier’s processing time.
