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.

What is an indenting agent?

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.

FAQs

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.
