CreationWebb USA trades physical gold and refined petroleum products, and carries the freight itself. One counterparty from origin to discharge — sourcing, assay, chartering, customs and delivery under a single contract.
Three desks, one contract
Most intermediaries in this market pass a document along and take a margin. We take title, arrange inspection, book the vessel and answer for the delivery. That is a narrower business, and it is the only one we run.
Refined bullion and audited doré sourced through vetted mine and refinery relationships in West Africa and Latin America. Assay before value, always.
Jet A-1, EN590 ULSD, D6 and fuel oil against allocated refinery capacity. Availability is confirmed before an offer leaves this office.
Our own freight desk charters the tonnage, clears the customs entry and runs the inland leg. The cargo never changes hands administratively.
Transaction sequence
Order matters here. A step skipped is a deal that collapses at the bank, so we publish the sequence and hold both sides to it.
Buyer submits an ICPO with company registration, passport of signatory and banking coordinates. We screen against sanctions and PEP lists before anything else moves.
We return a full commercial offer: grade, quantity, delivery basis, price formula, inspection regime and payment instrument. No offer is issued against unconfirmed stock.
Both parties sign the SPA. Terms are governed by ICC Incoterms 2020 and lodged with the nominated banks.
Seller releases the documentary package — tank receipt or vault holding certificate, origin, statement of availability — to the buyer's bank.
Buyer's bank issues an operative DLC or SBLC at sight. Where terms are dip-and-pay, funds are placed in escrow against the inspection result.
SGS, Intertek or Alex Stewart draw and test at load port at seller's cost. The certificate, not the offer sheet, sets the settled value.
Vessel is nominated and the cargo sails. Payment releases against clean bills of lading and the inspection certificate at discharge.

Working ports
We hold standing agency relationships at each of these terminals. That is why our laycan estimates are conservative and why they hold.
How we keep the file clean
Every counterparty is screened against OFAC SDN, UN, EU and UK consolidated lists at onboarding and re-screened before each shipment.
Metals are traced to permitted mine sites with documented export licences. We do not handle material from conflict-affected supply chains.
Quality and quantity are set by SGS, Intertek or Alex Stewart. We never self-certify a cargo we are selling.
Settlement runs through DLC, SBLC or MT103 between named banks. No cash positions, no third-party payment routing.
Institute Cargo Clauses (A) at 110% of invoice value on every consignment we ship, buyer named as assured where required.
Entries are filed by a licensed customs broker. Full document set — B/L, packing list, certificate of origin, inspection — travels with the cargo.
