A trade name is not enough: grade, standard, end use, tolerance, quantity, delivery point and substitution limits must be explicit.

Source and evidence review

Legal identity, real relationship to the goods, technical evidence, capacity, lead time and beneficiary account are assessed separately.

Cost and term comparison

Price is compared with currency, Incoterm, duties, packing, freight, inspection, payment and non-conformance exposure.

Final technical, legal, financial, customs and safety acceptance remains with the client or a qualified third party.
