What We Need to Begin
Submit the intake form with the following. The more complete and accurate your submission, the faster we can respond with a quote and document package.
- Location: destination port for delivery. Export destinations are preferred; U.S. domestic destinations require the buyer to hold valid federal registration (IRS §4101 / Form 637) and the applicable Texas Comptroller motor fuels license, in hand at the time of inquiry.
- Fuel requested: specific product, grade, and full specification.
- Quantities: initial volume, monthly volume, and contract term — with a brief note on how you intend to lift the requested quantity (own vessel, chartered, or other arrangement).
- Relationship to buyer: your role as Buyer (principal/end-user), Buyer's Mandate, Fuel Desk connected directly to the Buyer or Mandate, or Broker/Intermediary. Brokers must be able to put the Buyer or Mandate on a call with our Agent and provide the full buyer-chain hierarchy.
How the Process Works
-
KYC / CIS submitted
Buyer submits a KYC / CIS package. No quote, document, or specific information is issued before KYC is received and accepted.
-
Provisional Invoice & SPA issued
Our Agent issues a Provisional Invoice directly to the buyer with product specification, refinery and marine General Terms & Conditions, and the Sales & Purchase Agreement. A single-page Deal Sheet may be provided in lieu of the full package on a case-by-case basis.
-
Funds confirmed, order placed
Buyer funds an attorney trust account (IOLTA) or posts a Letter of Credit. Once funds are confirmed, the Agent places the order with the refinery and returns the refinery's order acknowledgment and laycan window.
-
Logistics provided
Buyer provides the vessel particulars, ETA, and terminal entry clearance required to load.
-
Commercial Invoice & title transfer
The Commercial Invoice is issued against the down-gauge of the shore tank on a 3-wrap, with plus/minus reconciliation at final settlement. Title transfers to the buyer as product passes the vessel flange(s).
Document turnaround from receipt of buyer KYC to a full document package is typically one business day. The current order-to-load window is approximately 7 to 14 days from refinery confirmation, depending on time of year.
Important Notes
- No credit. No credit is offered, and none is implied within these procedures or in any subsequent document.
- Logistics required before loading. Charter / vessel particulars and the final destination — discharge port, terminal, and where applicable tank storage for transfer — are required from the buyer before loading.
- Chartering support. Our Agent maintains direct relationships with established chartering brokers. The buyer contracts directly with the charter company; introductions and support are available on request.
- Domestic delivery licensing. Domestic U.S. delivery (TTT/TTO) requires the buyer to evidence, in hand, the federal registration and state license needed to take title to and handle motor fuel in the United States: a current IRS Form 637 registration (Internal Revenue Code §4101), shown by the IRS Letter of Registration with the activity letter(s) covering the buyer's role; and the applicable Texas Comptroller motor fuels license for the buyer's activity — typically a Distributor license (and an Importer license where product is brought in from another state), designated for the specific fuel and with the required Texas fuel-tax bond posted. Licensing or registration required in the buyer's destination jurisdiction is the buyer's responsibility. Aurean Partners will not commence a domestic engagement until valid registration and license certificates are confirmed in hand. Licensing support is available on request.
- Secondary sourcing. In addition to U.S. Gulf Coast supply, secondary sourcing is available year-round through Fujairah, UAE, with one annual exception: shipments do not move between approximately mid-December and the second week of January, when regional supply windows close.
