Method

A general trading mandate, controlled by one operating method.

Bonategia uses in-house software and analytical systems — pricing, routing, market data, and screening — to assess each proposed trade before it is accepted.

  • 01

    Landed cost, computed before it is quoted

    Each corridor is priced with in-house cost models — duties, VAT treatment, port and terminal charges, carbon-border obligations, risk surcharges. The figure quoted is the full landed cost, not a freight indication with the fiscal consequences left for arrival.

  • 02

    Routes engineered across four modes

    Sea, road, rail, and inland waterway are planned and compared corridor by corridor with the desk's own routing models — and stress-tested against chokepoint disruption and war-risk scenarios before commitment, not re-priced after the event.

  • 03

    Corridors selected on trade-flow evidence

    Product lanes are drawn from customs-declared trade flows at six-digit tariff depth — where producers, importers, and workable margins actually sit. A lane is proposed because the data supports it, not because a catalogue needs moving.

  • 04

    Verification as a gate, not a service

    Sanctions screening across the EU, OFAC, UN, UK, and French registers, forced-labour exposure, and origin traceability are cleared before any commercial reliance. A counterparty that fails the gate is not traded with — at any margin.

Transport & visibility

Sea, rail, barge, road — controlled through one proposed transport file.

  1. Sea lane

    FCL · LCL · CIF / FOB per Incoterms 2020

  2. Rail lane

    Block trains · COFC · gauge-aware corridors

  3. Barge lane

    Inland waterway · CEMT classes · water-level aware

  4. Road lane

    FTL · LTL · DAP / DDP · independent hauliers selected per accepted order

Bonategia owns and operates no vessels, rolling stock, barges, trucks, warehouses, or terminals. For each accepted order, physical transport is contracted with independent providers selected and qualified for that specific lane.

Rail and inland waterway can be compared where corridor and carrier availability permit. For a proposed routing, an ISO 14083-aligned carbon estimate and mode-shift option are included only where the underlying data and feasibility support them.

Process

From enquiry to executable trade — five disciplined steps.

A trading company that operates like an internal trade desk — without asking the buyer to staff one.

Services

  • Supplier identification
  • Requirement-led sourcing
  • RFQ preparation
  • Trade lane coordination
  • Supplier verification
  • Transaction execution
  • Documentation coordination

  1. Submit request

    A short brief: the goods, the destinations, the volumes, the constraints, the timing. No portal, no account, no catalogue exposure.

  2. Qualify requirements

    Specifications, Incoterms 2020, payment terms, and destination obligations are agreed in writing before any counterparty work begins.

  3. Identify counterparties

    Candidate counterparties are researched for the brief and shortlisted only after screening against EU, OFAC, UN, UK and French sanctions registers, end-use risk, and forced-labour exposure.

  4. Coordinate RFQ

    Quotes returned on a comparable structure — price, terms, Incoterms, lead time, payment instrument, conformity — so the trade-offs are surfaced, not left for the buyer to assemble.

  5. Support documentation

    From commercial documentation to customs paperwork — assembled per the standards expected by counterparties and authorities at the destination.
