No KYC — No Deal. Trust begins before execution
L.A.T. coordinates a pre-execution review of the parties, ownership, product, documents, banking route and commercial purpose before a material fertilizer transaction advances. If material information is missing or inconsistent, the process pauses.
Two sides of the transaction, one standard of clarity
The depth of review depends on the facts of each transaction. L.A.T. does not present a checklist as a substitute for legal, banking or regulatory approval; it is a structured commercial gate used before execution.
Supplier / Exporter Review
Initial verification is designed to confirm who the supplier is, what product is being offered and whether the proposed export path is coherent.
Buyer / Importer Review
For Brazilian counterparties, the commercial file should identify the legal entity, relevant ownership and the operating context of the proposed import.
Compliance is a process, not a decorative badge
A transaction advances in stages. Material gaps are clarified before the next commercial step, rather than pushed downstream.
Parties & roles
Define seller, buyer, principals, banks and relevant service providers.
Corporate data
Registration, ownership, management, banking and commercial information.
Product & route
Specification, origin, export/import context and proposed shipment path.
Restrictions & banks
Review relevant restrictions, payment structure and servicing-bank requirements.
Resolve material gaps
Pause and obtain explanations or missing records where the file is incomplete.
Proceed or decline
Continue only when the transaction has a sufficiently clear and supportable basis.
A credible transaction leaves a coherent record
The commercial, product and shipment package should tell the same story: who is trading, what is being traded, under what terms, through which route and against which evidence.
Required documents vary by transaction, product, bank, Incoterm and applicable regulation. Final requirements are confirmed for the specific deal.
A missing answer is a reason to pause
L.A.T. may suspend coordination or decline participation where material risks cannot be reasonably clarified. This protects the integrity of the commercial process and avoids forcing a transaction through an unclear structure.
The transaction file should be explainable to the servicing bank
Where requested for a specific operation, the commercial package can be organized around the principal/agency relationship, buyer and supplier information, product, value, route, commission basis and supporting evidence of the underlying trade.
