Compliance & Ethics

At Wtrade Export Ltda, we believe that international trade must be built on trust, transparency, and integrity.

Our operations strictly follow the principles and regulatory frameworks set by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). We do not engage in or support speculative offers, fraudulent practices, or non-verified transactions.

Our goal is to create solid, ethical, and verifiable commercial relationships between Brazilian producers and international buyers.

We act as a Commercial Agent (Mandate) with full accountability, ensuring that all negotiations are grounded in real supply capacity, clear documentation, and contractual legitimacy.

Every process we manage — from the initial contact to final shipment — is aligned with the Incoterms®, UCP rules for trade finance, and international compliance standards.

We actively protect all parties involved from:

  • False offers and speculative brokers
  • Illegitimate intermediaries posing as producers
  • Non-binding negotiations that harm the buyer’s credibility

With a lean, experienced, and technically trained team, Wtrade Export ensures that every step of the export process — including due diligence, logistics coordination, and legal documentation — is handled ethically and professionally.

Our mission is clear: to promote secure, transparent, and sustainable global trade.
