Refined Petroleum Products
Finding supply is not the hard part. Finding supply that is verifiable, bankable, and deliverable is the hard part. In refined products, a weak sourcing chain usually shows up as missing paperwork, shifting terms, unrealistic pricing, or payment requests that create unnecessary risk.
This checklist shows how to vet a sourcing agent and the supply chain behind them, so you can move with confidence on EN590, Jet A-1, gasoline, ULSD, and fuel oil related flows. If you need a counterparty check before you sign or issue instruments, use Commodity Supplier Due Diligence Services.
A real sourcing agent does not sell dreams. They reduce execution risk. That means they can (1) identify a supplier that can deliver, (2) produce evidence that the supplier is real, (3) align contract terms to market norms, and (4) structure payment so neither side gets abused.
Serious suppliers and serious agents need a clear buyer requirement. If the ask is fuzzy, you attract low-quality chains. Your first message should read like a procurement file, not a chat.
Minimum buyer spec package:
Do not skip straight to “send SCO” or “send SPA.” First, confirm the agent’s role, incentives, and authority. A reliable agent can explain exactly who they represent and how they get paid.
| Check | What to ask for | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Role clarity | Are you buyer-side, seller-side, or dual? Who is the principal? | Whether they can negotiate and whether incentives are aligned. |
| Authority | Verifiable proof they have a mandate or relationship that holds up under KYB. | Whether they are close to the source or just forwarding PDFs. |
| Track record | References, past performance narrative, and evidence that can be verified without breaching confidentiality. | Whether they have executed real liftings. |
| Process discipline | Step-by-step explanation of how they move from enquiry to contract to lifting. | Whether they know the execution workflow. |
| Compliance readiness | Willingness to complete KYB, sanctions screening, and basic disclosures. | Whether the deal can ever be financeable or bankable. |
If you want a written counterparty risk report before you commit funds or issue instruments, use Trade Finance Due Diligence Report Service.
In refined products, payment structure is where good deals survive and bad deals die. The safest approach is a document-driven payment path where inspection, shipment, and title mechanics are clear.
Start here: Letter Of Credit Services and Documentary Letter of Credit Provider.
See: Standby Letter of Credit Services and SBLC Payment Security Guide.
The point is not to collect impressive PDFs. The point is to collect evidence that can be checked. Reliable agents welcome verification because it speeds up closing with serious buyers.
Practical evidence checklist:
Financely sits in trade finance and physical commodity workflows every day. That changes sourcing quality. Instead of operating as a random middle layer, we operate around bankable execution. We maintain a large rolodex of clients and counterparties with a proven track record, because repeat execution requires real KYB, consistent documentation, and deal discipline.
Learn how trade and execution connect here: Commodity Trade Finance and Physical Commodity Trading and Structured Trade Finance.
If you need a fast counterparty screen before you proceed, start with Due Diligence for Physical Commodity Transactions.
Use these to filter agents quickly. If answers are vague, move on.
Start with role clarity, authority, and compliance readiness. Then verify the supplier pathway and whether the payment structure is bankable. If they resist KYB or cannot explain execution, that is a serious signal.
Terms that are document-driven and verifiable tend to be safer. Documentary LCs are common for shipment-linked flows. SBLCs are used when parties accept a standby format for performance or payment security.
Yes. That is the point of being trade-finance-native. We can support sourcing and then help structure the payment security and underwriting path required for execution.
If you are buying refined products and want a reliable sourcing agent, submit your requirement and KYB pack. We will confirm fit, revert with a checklist, and coordinate sourcing, verification, and the payment security workflow.
