요구사항 정의 방법
- Convert every offer to landed cost per tonne at your plant gate before comparing anything.
- Fix the quantity tolerance and who exercises it (typically ±5% or ±10% at seller's option).
- Decide where quality and weight are final, and appoint the surveyor in the contract by name or standing.
- Match the payment instrument to counterparty risk: LC at sight, CAD, or open account for established relationships.
- Confirm discharge capability — draft, berth availability, silo intake rate and free storage days.
중요한 규격
| 항목 | 일반 요구값 | 구매자에게 중요한 이유 |
|---|---|---|
| Landed cost per tonne | All-in at plant gate | The only comparable number across FOB, CFR and DAP offers. |
| Quantity tolerance | ±5% or ±10% | Determines exposure if the market moves between contract and shipment. |
| Laytime and demurrage rate | Stated days and USD/day | One of the largest avoidable cost lines in bulk trade. |
| Quality determination point | Load port / discharge | Defines who carries in-transit deterioration. |
| Sampling protocol | Composite, three-way split | Makes any subsequent claim defensible. |
| Payment instrument | LC / CAD / open account | Balances price against counterparty risk. |
| Force majeure and washout terms | Explicit, priced | Determines cost of a failed shipment in a volatile market. |

- — Vessel or container food/feed-grade suitability and previous-cargo declaration
- — Fumigation certificate and phytosanitary certificate where required
- — Certificate of origin for tariff treatment and trade-agreement claims
- — Sanctions and counterparty screening documentation retained on file
검토할 시험성적서
- — Independent surveyor sampling, weight and quality report at load and discharge
- — Full contaminant panel appropriate to the ingredient and origin
- — Hold and hatch cleanliness inspection report before loading
- — Draft survey or weighbridge certificate supporting settlement weight
- — Retained sealed samples held by buyer, seller and an umpire laboratory
포장 고려사항
- — Bulk vessel for full or part cargoes where intake and storage allow
- — Container bulk liners for 20–25 tonne parcels and smaller markets
- — Break-bulk bagged cargo where discharge infrastructure is limited
- — Confirm liner specification, sealing and marking before loading
운송 고려사항
- — Incoterms 2020 selection drives insurance, risk transfer and demurrage exposure — choose deliberately
- — Confirm berth, draft restriction and discharge rate before fixing the vessel
- — Track free time at port and pre-book inland haulage to avoid detention
- — Insure at 110% CIF value with cover matching the real transit risks
보관 고려사항
- — Verify silo and warehouse capacity against arrival schedule before the vessel sails
- — Segregate lots so quality claims can be traced to a specific shipment
- — Monitor temperature and moisture in bulk piles on a fixed schedule
- — Reconcile received, stored and consumed tonnage monthly to detect shrinkage early
구매 리스크
Demurrage from slow discharge
통제 방안: Realistic laytime negotiated against your actual intake rate, plus pre-booked haulage and storage.
Quality dispute with no defensible sample
통제 방안: Contracted independent surveyor, composite sampling and a three-way sealed split.
Counterparty default on a rising market
통제 방안: Performance security or LC, split shipments with new counterparties, and documented sanctions screening.
Currency exposure between contract and payment
통제 방안: Hedge or contract in the currency of your revenue where possible.
Arrival before storage is available
통제 방안: Arrival window clause tied to your silo plan, with staged discharge or bonded storage arranged in advance.
흔한 구매 실수
- — Comparing an FOB offer with a DAP offer without building landed cost
- — Accepting quality final at load port while paying against arrival documents
- — Underestimating laytime and discovering demurrage after the fact
- — Leaving the surveyor appointment to the seller
- — Ignoring the tolerance clause and being surprised by 10% more cargo in a falling market
자주 묻는 질문
Which Incoterm should I use?
Use the one that matches the control you actually have. Buyers with freight expertise and port relationships take FOB and control the logistics; buyers without them are usually better off with CFR or DAP, accepting a premium for transferred complexity.
Is a letter of credit always worth it?
No. An LC costs money and slows the deal, but with a new counterparty or a large single cargo it is cheap insurance. Match the instrument to the exposure: LC for new or large, CAD for established, open account only for long-standing relationships with credit checks.
Who should appoint the surveyor?
Both parties should agree the surveyor in the contract, and each may appoint their own attending representative. A surveyor appointed unilaterally by the seller is not independent evidence in a dispute.
How do I compare offers fairly?
Normalise everything: same specification, same moisture basis, same Incoterm, same payment terms, same tolerance. Then add port charges, inspection, storage and inland haulage to reach landed cost per tonne.
