We also trade soybeans, soybean meal, corn, beef, granular sulphur, and allocated gold bank to bank.

Gold

CIMA International LLC facilitates the trade of allocated gold on a bank-to-bank basis, supported by full assay and origin documentation. Bank-held gold offers a high degree of reliability and security because it is held in allocated form within the banking system, with clear chain-of-custody, independent assay certificates, and documented provenance—reducing counterparty and authenticity risks common in non-banked physical trades. We coordinate the transaction, documentation, and settlement process for qualified buyers seeking transparent, bank-settled gold.

Sulphur (Azufre Granular)

CIMA International LLC supplies granular sulphur (azufre granular) with a minimum purity of 99.8% to industrial buyers in Colombia and other markets. Origin is confirmed on a case-by-case basis according to available production and logistics. We handle sourcing, documentation, and delivery for applications such as fertilizer manufacturing and chemical processing, working with established counterparties.

PETROLEUM PRODUCTS

EN590 and Jet A-1. CI, dip & pay in Rotterdam and Houston.

HOW WE TRADE FUEL

EN590 ultra-low sulphur diesel and Jet A-1 aviation turbine fuel of non-Russian origin are traded FOB, tank-to-tank or tank-to-vessel, from Rotterdam and Houston.

Transactions follow a structured CI–DIP–PAY procedure that keeps allocation, quality and title in a clear sequence before payment. The result is a controlled handoff: buyers know what they are taking, sellers know when title and funds move, and both sides work from the same documents and inspection record.
