LIFTS: Port of lifting? (Seller will furnish this)
BASIC PROCEDURES:
1. Buyer (upon verification, first, of the Seller and its credentials, and due satisfaction that this is a LEGITIMATE seller), sends ICPO to buyer. 2. NCND/IMFPA documents are duly signed between the sellers/buyers and the intermediaries 3-ICPO & 4- SPA Contract + C/I for liftable quantity of product 5-Full POP + DTA/ATB 6-PAYMENT: No upfront banking instruments, no POF, strictly DIP & PAY. Payment by MT103 for the liftable quantity, +RDLC 7- Lift and commission payment by buyer 8- Does Seller issuance of 2% Performance Bond apply? No, NOT in our Dip & Pay deals. Since, by such time, the buyer shall have already dipped, verified, paid, and taken title to the initial liftable quantity, as well as issued the RDLC. 9-NO UPFRONT issuance of the tank details to the seller by buyer (tank farm managers name and contact information, line account numbers, etc) prior to buyers receipt of the injection reports.
From the time of receiving the authorization to dip to the conclusion of the deal, the entire process takes approximately one-and-a-half to two hours in time.
SUMMARY: This is very important - our buyers involved in Dip & Pay deals, have a strict policy of wanting their deals to be simple, and to be executed fast and quickly, especially for the first lift, by a set day and time certain. Basically, they simply want to dip and verify, at port, via DTA, that the (initial) liftable product and quantity claimed or being offered, is actually there. And where this is positively verified and confirmed, our buyers would generally swap title immediately in exchange for their payment (by SWIFT of MT103 on the initial liftable), and would, well as, at the same time activate a Non Transferable RDLC on all remaining quantities, and/or on the remaining life of the contract, as applicable all usually done in a time period of less than one hour or so.
VERY IMPORTANT: If you are a Dip and Pay Seller (or even buyer), please note that Dip & Pay buyers DO NOT just accept any offers or blindly automatically issue Purchase Orders for an offer that comes along. Rather, prior to their issuing an ICPO, they will need to have a fully verified offer from the products title holding entity. Or, to expedite the process, the title-holding company (as would have been fully detailed on the warrant of title) can simply Invoice the buyers. At such time, the buyer will verify the offer and its issuing corporation. If found to be satisfactory and acceptable, the buyer will sign the invoice with the expectation of an immediate DTA. Buyer(s) will then dip to verify the initial liftable quantity. And if found acceptable, they will then pay the title holding company on all liftable quantities, and activate, as well, simultaneously, a Non Transferable RDLC on all remaining quantities, and/or the remaining life of the contract
NOTE: All documents (SCO, FCO, SPA, CI, DTA, Etc.), MUST come from the title holding company ONLY, as fully detailed on the warrant of title. No Broker documents. Any broker documents are usually discarded, and will be subject to being reported.
