Materials & Grades
Grade confirmation depends on the stated specification, available records, visual evidence, agreed quality criteria and any inspection or verification arranged for the transaction.
Depending on the material, VMG may request the grade or specification, composition or recovery information, condition, contamination details, quantity, origin, packing method and loading readiness.
Clear, current photos or videos may help the initial review, especially where material condition, packing or loading readiness needs context. They do not replace final specification confirmation.

A Packing List describes how goods are packed and may record package counts, weights, dimensions and markings. Its exact format depends on the shipment.
A Bill of Lading is a transport document issued for sea carriage that records shipment and carriage details. Its role and handling depend on the agreed transaction and shipping arrangement.
A Certificate of Origin identifies the stated country of origin of goods. Whether it is requested, and the applicable form or issuer, depends on the transaction and destination requirements.

Commercial Terms & Market References
Incoterms® are ICC trade terms used to clarify delivery responsibilities, costs and risks between seller and buyer. They do not determine every contract term, ownership, payment method or material quality.
The appropriate Incoterm depends on the proposed transaction, transport mode and agreed responsibilities. VMG may discuss suitable terms without reproducing or replacing the official ICC rules.
Pricing and terms are discussed against the specific material, grade, quantity, location, freight, timing, inspection, documentation and prevailing market context.
No. The Market page provides indicative market references and does not constitute a firm VMG buying or selling quotation. Contact VMG with a specific requirement or offer for an actual commercial discussion.
Send the VMG desk a specific requirement or material offer. Any firm quotation is subject to detailed review and final commercial confirmation.
