How a commercial request runs.

From first enquiry to delivered goods, a request moves through six steps. Nothing is ordered until you have approved a written quotation.

Border1Origin2Departure3Arrival4Destination
  1. 1Purchase order
  2. 2Export documents
  3. 3Customs entry
  4. 4Delivery record
Every crossing produces the same four documents. Talia raises them and keeps the set together, which is the part that goes wrong when a buyer and a shipper are separate counterparties.
  1. Requirement

    You send the specification, quantity, destination and any deadline. If the specification is incomplete, we ask the questions that would otherwise cause the wrong goods to arrive.

  2. Sourcing

    We approach suppliers who can meet the specification and verify that they are able to supply the quantity and quality described.

  3. Quotation

    You receive a written quotation: unit price, total, lead time, delivery terms and payment terms. It is valid for a stated period.

  4. Order

    On acceptance, a purchase order is issued and confirmed with the supplier. You receive the order confirmation and expected dates.

  5. Shipment

    Goods are collected, inspected where agreed, and shipped. Commercial invoice, packing list and transport documents are issued and sent to you.

  6. Delivery

    Delivery is confirmed against the order. Shortages, damage or specification failures are raised with the supplier and pursued on your behalf.

What we do not trade

Talia deals in lawful goods only. Before an order is accepted, the goods, the destination and the counterparty are checked against this list.

  • Weapons, ammunition, military and dual-use controlled items
  • Controlled substances, pharmaceuticals and precursor chemicals
  • Goods subject to sanctions, embargoes or export restrictions we cannot satisfy
  • Counterfeit, pirated or infringing goods
  • Hazardous materials requiring licences we do not hold
  • Any item requiring an authorisation Talia does not hold

Where a requirement is legitimate but needs a licence, we will say so and decline rather than proceed informally.

For suppliers and manufacturers

If you manufacture or distribute goods in the categories above and are looking for a United States counterparty, we are open to enquiries. Send your product range, minimum order quantities, lead times and the markets you already ship to.
