Compliance & Documentation
Controlled goods are a paperwork business.
Sodium cyanide moves under UN 1689, Class 6.1, PG I. What decides whether a shipment clears is not the price — it is whether the file behind it survives being questioned. Below is exactly what we provide, what we need from you, and where we will decline.

Every counterparty is screened before we quote
Screening is performed on the buying company, its directors and its shareholders — and on our suppliers, to the same standard. Results are dated and retained. Existing counterparties are re-screened annually, because these lists change.

Required before we can quote a controlled product
These are not formalities we can waive. Buyer due diligence is completed before quotation, not after — an incomplete file is the reason shipments are held, and the reason suppliers refuse to load.
Corporate identity
- Company registration certificate
- Tax registration certificate
- Directors and shareholders list
- Import licence or local importer registration
Legitimate end use
- Mining concession or operating licence evidencing legitimate end use
- End-Use Certificate — notarised or government-endorsed
- End-user statement
- Non re-export undertaking
We would rather lose the order
We publish this because legitimate buyers are not inconvenienced by it. If any of the following applies, we will stop and reassess — and we will not agree to anything in the conversation itself.
- Payment originating from any party other than the contracting buyer
- Requests to change consignee, discharge port or final destination outside a written contract amendment
- Requests to leave an agreed term out of the contract
- Requests to ship or declare under our company name on another party's behalf
- Refusal or inability to evidence a mining concession or operating licence
- Purchase volume materially disproportionate to the stated operation
- Requests for cash, cryptocurrency or structured small payments
- Time pressure applied so that verification cannot be completed
Any request that departs from a signed contract is handled in writing and by formal amendment. A counterparty unwilling to put it in writing has answered the question.
A file is kept for every transaction
- 01A complete compliance file is opened for every transaction and closed with a signed checklist.
- 02Export-control records are retained for a minimum of five years, in line with international practice.
- 03Records are held in two separated locations — local and cloud.
- 04Sanctions screening is re-run annually on existing counterparties.

Ask us for the document list before you ask for a price.
If you are evaluating suppliers, request our transaction document list and technical data sheets. A supplier who cannot produce that list before quoting is a supplier whose shipment may not clear.
