Wholesale Intermediation Services

TrendMol Impex LLC acts as an intermediary (broker/agent/commissionaire) connecting qualified buyers with vetted suppliers. We facilitate sourcing, negotiation, documentation, compliance, and logistics. Title to goods is taken only if contractually agreed; otherwise we coordinate the transaction with transparent commissions and auditable reporting.

Engagement Models

  • Broker of Record: commission-based intermediation; commission paid by buyer or supplier as agreed.
  • Buying Agent: service-fee model representing the buyer’s interests end-to-end.
  • Commissionaire (where applicable): we sell in our own name on behalf of a principal.
  • Mandate/Representation: exclusive or non-exclusive representation for specific categories or tenders.
  • Tender/RFP Support: documentation, supplier shortlist, and bid management.

Scope of Services

  • Sourcing & due diligence: market scan, factory checks, references, sanctions/KYC screening.
  • RFQ/RFP management: specs alignment, quote templates, price discovery and benchmarking.
  • Negotiation: Incoterms, lead times, MOQs, warranties, after-sales terms.
  • Trade finance coordination: LC/SBLC, DP/DA, or escrow (through banking/escrow partners).
  • Contract pack: NCNDA/mutual NDA, mandate letters, ICPO/LOI, sales contracts, addenda.
  • Quality & inspections: AQL plans, pre-shipment/inline checks, lab tests where required.
  • Logistics & documents: booking, milestone tracking, CI/PL/CO, BL/AWB, insurance on request.
  • Dispute & claims: structured claim windows, evidence collection, and resolution workflow.
