SALES PURCHASE AGREEMENTS
A detailed trade workflow for direct buyers purchasing from a manufacturer or supplier.
01
Customer Request & LOI
The buyer submits a Letter of Intent (LOI) or Request for Quotation (RFQ). KYC Compliance is mandatory for all buyers to generate quotations and Proforma Invoices. E.g Product specifications, Quantity, Packaging details, Shipping preferences (bulk, container, air freight), Certifications required, Incoterm & destination port/airport, Shipping frequency (if revolving), Preferred payment method , Target price (if available) etc.
02
Procurement & Agreement
Manufacturer/Supplier Issue issue SPA (sales and purchasing contract) , a quotation or Proforma Invoice at the attention of the buyer. The buyer confirms and approves with stamp and signature. A formal Sales Purchase Agreement (SPA) is issued by the supplier and both parties approve and sign the SPA.
03
Payment Process
Buyers make direct payments to the Manufacturer or Supplier. SCA-Partner does not receive payments on their behalf.
- TT: 30% deposit + 70% at loading
- TT/LC: 10% deposit + 90% LC at sight
- 100% LC at sight
All LCs must be transferable and irrevocable. Payment terms may vary by commodity and country of origin.
04
Production, Inspection & Shipment
Once payment is confirmed, production begins. The buyer selects an independent inspection agency for quality & quantity (Q&Q) certification. The agency conducts testing and verification per the SPA, a final loading inspection is done, and reports are submitted to the buyer. Shipment is then executed according to the agreed Incoterms.
- Production begins on payment confirmation
- Independent Q&Q inspection per the SPA
- Final loading inspection (weights, marks, seals)
- Reports submitted to the buyer
- Shipment executed per agreed Incoterms
