Indenting agent. Factory direct. One desk.
Alongside direct supply, Chelora Chemicals works as an indenting agent — connecting buyers with qualified manufacturers. You contract with and pay the plant directly, while our sourcing desk handles the search, the negotiation, the indent and the shipment follow-up.

Two ways to buy. One desk.
An indenting agent finds the right manufacturer for a buyer, negotiates the deal and places the order — the indent — with the plant. The contract, the invoice and the payment run directly between buyer and manufacturer; the agent is paid a commission by the manufacturer.
We offer both routes. Tell us how you prefer to buy and we will quote it that way — or show you both side by side.
Working for both sides of the deal
Buyers get factory-direct pricing with a desk on their side. Manufacturers get qualified enquiries without building a sales office in every market.

Seven clear steps. The contract and payment stay between buyer and manufacturer — everything else, our desk keeps moving.
Enquiry & specification
Send the product or CAS number, grade, quantity, destination port and preferred Incoterm.
Sourcing & offers
We approach qualified manufacturers and collect firm offers with specifications, packing and lead times.
Price, terms & pro-forma
We negotiate price and terms, then share the manufacturer's pro-forma invoice with you.
Indent issued, contract signed
Once you confirm, we issue the indent — the formal order — to the manufacturer, and the sales contract is signed between buyer and plant.
Direct payment
You pay the manufacturer directly, by letter of credit or telegraphic transfer, as agreed in the contract.

We follow up on production and loading. Third-party inspection — SGS, Intertek or Bureau Veritas — can be arranged before shipment.

Questions about indenting
Who do I sign the contract with, and who do I pay?
The manufacturer. The sales contract and invoice are between you and the plant, and payment goes directly to them by letter of credit or telegraphic transfer. We coordinate the paperwork on your behalf.
Who is responsible for quality?
The manufacturer supplies against the agreed specification and COA. We review the documents before shipment and can arrange independent inspection by SGS, Intertek or Bureau Veritas before loading.
Can you supply directly instead of indenting?
Yes. For trial drums, mixed loads, or when you prefer one invoice from us, we buy and supply directly. Tell us which you prefer — or ask us to quote both.
Which Incoterms and payment terms are possible?
Typically FOB, CFR, CIF or DAP, paid by letter of credit or telegraphic transfer. Final terms are agreed between buyer and manufacturer in the sales contract.
I'm a manufacturer — how do you work with principals?
We work on commission on confirmed orders. Territory, exclusivity and the commission rate are agreed in writing with each manufacturer before we represent them.
Ready to buy factory-direct?
