Financial Instruments
Sinan works with the full range of international trade finance instruments — providing flexibility for buyers and sellers while protecting all parties at every stage of a deal.
01
The standard instrument for cross-border commodity trade. Sinan issues and receives documentary LCs through UAE's major banking partners, providing payment security for both parties.
02
Performance-backed financing for long-term supply contracts and established counterparties — activated only in the event of non-performance, so day-to-day trade operations remain unencumbered when both sides perform.
03
Bid bonds, performance bonds, and advance payment guarantees issued through our banking relationships to underwrite trade commitments and provide counterparty assurance.
04
Faster and more cost-effective than a full LC — bank-intermediated document exchange suitable for established trading relationships with lower counterparty risk.
05
Available to vetted, long-standing counterparties with a proven payment track record. Extended on a case-by-case basis following a completed due diligence review.
06
Full or partial upfront payment terms accepted and issued depending on deal structure, commodity type, and counterparty profile — with written acknowledgement and confirmation issued on receipt.
Regulatory Compliance
Sinan maintains a rigorous compliance framework aligned with UAE Ministry of Economy requirements, FTA regulations, and FATF guidelines. Every counterparty is screened before a trade relationship is established.
We conduct full KYC and AML checks on buyers, sellers, and intermediaries — and maintain records in line with UAE commercial law retention requirements. No transaction proceeds without a cleared counterparty profile.
AML Screening
All counterparties screened against international sanctions lists and AML watchlists prior to engagement.
Sanctions Compliance
Trade routes, counterparties, and cargo types are verified against OFAC, UN, and UAE sanctions frameworks.
KYC Verification
Full know-your-counterparty documentation collected and retained for all trading relationships.
UAE FTA Registered
Registered with the UAE Federal Tax Authority. TRN: 104231634700003. VAT-compliant invoicing on all transactions.
Document Handling
From bill of lading to certificate of analysis, Sinan manages the complete documentation chain for every trade — digitally prepared, physically verified, and archived for compliance.
Stage 01
Commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading prepared and cross-checked against the signed contract before every shipment is released.
Stage 02
Certificate of origin, COA, MSDS, phytosanitary and health certificates obtained and verified depending on commodity type, destination, and regulatory requirements.
Stage 03
All documentation submitted to destination customs authorities ahead of vessel arrival — enabling our consistent sub-48-hour average clearance time across UAE, GCC, and East African ports.
Stage 04
A complete documentation archive is retained for every completed trade — available to counterparties upon request and maintained in line with UAE commercial law retention requirements.
