Integrated General Trading & Commodity Solutions

Connecting Supply, Markets and Commercial Opportunity

THARWAT ALEBDAA GENERAL TRADING L.L.C. (TAGT) operates through a diversified trading model designed to connect producers, manufacturers, suppliers and exporters with qualified buyers, distributors and end users across regional and international markets.

The company’s documented business foundation combines General Trading, Offshore Crude Oil Trading and Offshore Refined Oil Product Trading under its Dubai commercial license. Its Hamriyah Free Zone branch further records Import / Export / Trading of Crude Oil Abroad, Refined Oil Products, Petroleum Products, Petrochemicals, Foodstuff & Beverages.

The KYC also identifies the company’s source of earnings as “Oil & Gas Trading and General Commodity Trading,” reflecting the diversified commercial orientation of the business.

An Integrated Trading Model

TAGT’s business model is built around more than the simple buying and selling of products.

International commodity trading requires the alignment of:

  • Product Availability
  • Technical Specification
  • Commercial Pricing
  • Quantity
  • Origin
  • Buyer Requirement
  • Payment Structure
  • Documentation
  • Inspection Requirements
  • Delivery Terms
  • Shipment & Logistics

Our business approach is therefore designed around creating an organized commercial pathway from the initial requirement through contractual engagement and ultimately to the agreed delivery of the commodity.

06Our Core Business Activities

Strategic Sourcing

Identifying the Right Supply for the Right Requirement

International trading begins with sourcing.

TAGT seeks to develop relationships with:

  • Producers
  • Refineries
  • Manufacturers
  • Mines
  • Mills
  • Food Processors
  • Exporters
  • Established Suppliers
  • Authorized Trading Counterparties

The sourcing process can be structured around the buyer’s actual commercial requirement rather than simply around available inventory.

Our Sourcing Process

Commodity Requirement → Product Specification → Required Quantity → Preferred Origin → Destination → Required Delivery Term → Commercial Target → Suitable Supply Source

This approach helps ensure that the supply opportunity is commercially relevant before the transaction progresses further.

Procurement Solutions

From Requirement to Commercial Supply

TAGT’s procurement function is built around assisting buyers in identifying and engaging suitable commodity supply opportunities.

Procurement activity may include:

  1. 01

    Requirement Analysis

    Understanding exactly what commodity and specification the buyer requires.

  2. 02

    Supply Identification

    Identifying suppliers or producers capable of meeting the requirement.

  3. 03

    Commercial Comparison

    Reviewing available offers based on specification, price, origin and logistics.

  4. 04

    Negotiation

    Working toward commercially acceptable terms between the relevant parties.

  5. 05

    Contractual Coordination

    Supporting preparation and execution of the appropriate commercial documents.

  6. 06

    Transaction Follow-Up

    Maintaining communication through the agreed transaction stages.

Wholesale & Bulk Commodity Trading

A substantial portion of international commodity business involves commercial quantities supplied in bulk rather than retail formats.

Depending upon the commodity, TAGT’s trading portfolio can include:

  1. Bulk Liquid Cargoes

    Petroleum and suitable liquid commodities.

  2. Dry Bulk Commodities

    Coal, minerals and other applicable bulk products under general trading.

  3. Containerized Commodities

    Metals, chemicals, packaged food products and general merchandise.

  4. Industrial Packaging

    Drums, IBCs, jumbo bags, sacks, cartons and other product-appropriate packing.

The exact supply format should always be determined by the commodity specification, contractual requirement and applicable regulations.

International Commodity Transactions

Structured Commercial Execution

International commodity transactions require coordination between multiple parties.

A typical transaction may involve:

  • Seller / Supplier
  • Buyer
  • Banking Institutions
  • Inspection Company
  • Shipping Company
  • Terminal / Warehouse
  • Freight Provider
  • Customs
  • Insurance Provider
  • Destination Receiver

TAGT acts as the commercial trading counterparty or coordinator connecting these elements according to the agreed contractual structure.

Commercial Transaction Structuring

Turning Opportunities into Executable Transactions

Not every supply opportunity automatically becomes a workable transaction.

TAGT’s business model therefore emphasizes commercial structuring before execution.

A commercially viable commodity transaction normally requires agreement on:

  1. 01

    Product

    The exact commodity and commercial grade.

  2. 02

    Specification

    Quality parameters against which the cargo or goods will be accepted.

  3. 03

    Quantity

    The agreed commercial volume and allowable tolerance.

  4. 04

    Price

    Fixed price or an agreed benchmark/formula.

  5. 05

    Delivery Term

    Applicable Incoterm and delivery location.

  6. 06

    Inspection

    Required quality and quantity verification.

  7. 07

    Payment

    Agreed payment mechanism and banking procedure.

  8. 08

    Documentation

    Documents required before, during and after shipment.

  9. 09

    Timeline

    Loading, shipment and delivery schedule.

Supplier & Buyer Coordination

Building the Commercial Bridge

TAGT connects both sides of the international trading relationship.

  • On the Supply Side

    We seek relationships with:

    • Producers
    • Refineries
    • Manufacturers
    • Exporters
    • Authorized Suppliers
  • On the Demand Side

    We engage with:

    • Importers
    • Distributors
    • Wholesalers
    • Industrial Consumers
    • Commercial Buyers
    • End Users
  • The TAGT Position

    1. Supply Source
    2. TAGT Commercial Platform
    3. Market Demand

Our objective is to ensure that the commodity requirement, supply capability and commercial terms are sufficiently aligned before progressing into contractual execution.

Product & Specification Management

Trading the Specification — Not Just the Product Name

In commodity trading, two products carrying the same commercial name can have substantially different technical specifications.

TAGT therefore follows a specification-driven trading approach.

For example:

  1. Petroleum Products

    Sulfur, density, flash point, viscosity and applicable standard.

  2. Coal

    Calorific value, ash, moisture, sulfur and volatile matter.

  3. Minerals

    Chemical assay, grade, moisture and particle size.

  4. Metals

    Purity, alloy composition, mechanical properties and dimensions.

  5. Food Products

    Grade, moisture, microbiological requirements, packaging and shelf life.

This allows TAGT to connect buyer requirements with commercially appropriate supply.

Quality & Quantity Coordination

Quality and quantity verification can form an important part of international commodity transactions.

Depending upon the commodity and contractual terms, inspection may involve independent laboratories or inspection organizations for:

  • Quality Analysis
  • Quantity Determination
  • Weight Verification
  • Sampling
  • Product Testing
  • Loading Inspection
  • Discharge Inspection

Commercial Documentation

Documentation Supporting International Trade

Depending on the transaction, commercial documentation may include:

  • Request for Quotation / RFQ
  • Letter of Intent / LOI
  • ICPO / Purchase Order
  • Commercial Offer / FCO
  • Sales & Purchase Agreement
  • Proforma Invoice
  • Commercial Invoice
  • Packing List
  • Certificate of Origin
  • Certificate of Analysis
  • Certificate of Quality
  • Certificate of Quantity
  • Inspection Certificate
  • Bill of Lading
  • Export Documentation
  • Delivery Documentation

The exact documents required depend on the commodity, transaction structure and jurisdiction.

Supply-Chain Coordination

Supporting the Journey from Origin to Destination

For commodity trading to be successful, the commercial transaction must remain coordinated with the physical movement of the goods.

Where relevant to its trading transaction, TAGT can support coordination among:

  1. 01

    Supplier

  2. 02

    Inspection / Testing

  3. 03

    Loading Point

  4. 04

    Transportation

  5. 05

    Shipping Documentation

  6. 06

    Destination

  7. 07

    Buyer / End User

Market-Oriented Trading

Responsive to International Supply and Demand

Commodity markets are influenced by:

  • International supply and demand
  • Seasonal requirements
  • Regional shortages
  • Refinery and plant production
  • Freight costs
  • Benchmark pricing
  • Exchange rates
  • Availability of vessels or containers
  • Trade regulations
  • Geopolitical conditions

TAGT’s diversified commercial platform allows the company to evaluate opportunities across multiple sectors rather than remaining dependent upon one commodity or one market.

Diversified Commodity Solutions

TAGT organizes its trading activities into four principal divisions.

  1. trading-energy-petroleum

    Energy & Petroleum

    Crude oil and refined petroleum commodities.

  2. Trading-petrochemicals

    Petrochemicals

    Industrial chemical and petrochemical feedstocks.

  3. trade-foodstuff

    Foodstuff & Beverages

    Consumer and food-industry products.

  4. trade-commodities

    General Commodities

    Additional industrial, agricultural, metal and mineral commodities where permitted.

This structure remains consistent with the company’s documented activities while allowing room for commercial expansion within the applicable regulatory framework.

UAE-Based Commercial Advantage

TAGT’s KYC identifies a corporate office in Dubai and an office in Hamriyah Free Zone, Sharjah.

This dual UAE presence supports the company’s international trading orientation by providing a commercial base from which to engage suppliers, buyers, banks and other transaction counterparties.

  • Dubai

    Corporate and commercial business environment.

  • Hamriyah Free Zone

    Import/export and trading platform within the activities recorded on the branch license.

  • UAE

    A strategic international trading location connecting regional and global markets.
