From Inquiry to
Port of Discharge
Every transaction follows the same six-step process. Full documentation at each stage. No shortcuts. Below is exactly what happens from your first inquiry to container delivery.
How We Source Differently
Most recovered fiber traders use the same public channels: commodity exchanges, auctions, and standard brokers. This creates competition on price, not on access. Conglobus sources differently.
We have built direct relationships with independent recyclers, regional MRF operators, and warehouse networks across the U.S. These suppliers provide material to Conglobus because we offer reliability, fair pricing, and consistent business. This access is not available through traditional commodity channels.
We verify material before it enters our supply chain. Moisture testing, prohibitive levels, and bale integrity are checked at source — not at destination. This reduces risk for you and ensures that what ships is exactly what was promised.
Because we have direct relationships with multiple suppliers, we can source material consistently month after month. We are not dependent on a single facility or waiting for commodity market windows. Repeat buyers get reliable supply.
Need a specific moisture range? Tighter prohibitive limits? Custom bale weight? Our sourcing network allows us to customize specifications for qualified buyers. We can source what you actually need, not just what the market offers.
Inquiry
You contact us by phone, WhatsApp, or email. We ask: what grade (OCC11 or DSOCC), what volume (number of containers per month), what destination port, and any specific spec requirements (e.g., moisture under 10%, prohibitives under 0.5%). We respond to all inquiries within one business day.
Specs Confirmation & Quote
We confirm the exact specifications we can supply: prohibitive %, outthrow %, moisture %, bale weight range, packaging type, and container load. We provide a delivered price (FOB or CIF) with clear payment terms (LC at sight, T/T, or CAD). No hidden fees. Both sides know exactly what they are agreeing to.
Sourcing & Quality Control
Material is sourced from vetted U.S. recyclers, MRFs, and warehouses. Before any material enters our supply chain, we verify: bale integrity, moisture content (TAPPI T412 method), prohibitive levels, and bale weight. Material that does not meet the agreed specifications is rejected before loading.
Documentation Preparation
We prepare all shipment documentation before the container is loaded. This includes: Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Quality (showing actual test results vs. specification limits), Moisture Test Report, and Certificate of Origin. Third-party inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas) is available on request.
Container Loading
Bales are loaded into 40ft High Cube containers at the warehouse. Loading is documented with photographs showing: empty container (pre-load), bales during loading, and sealed container with seal number visible. Loading plans ensure proper weight distribution for safe transit. Container weight is verified against the Bill of Lading.
Shipment & Tracking
Container is shipped to the destination port. We provide the tracking number, vessel name, and estimated time of arrival (ETA). Documents are released per the agreed payment terms (e.g., upon LC negotiation or T/T receipt). We remain in contact through delivery and handle any questions or issues directly.
Sample Documentation
Below are redacted samples of the documents we provide with every container. Buyer-specific details are blacked out for confidentiality.
Bill of Lading
Ocean bill of lading showing shipper (Conglobus International LLC), port of loading (Savannah, GA), description of goods (OCC11 / DSOCC), container details, and carrier information.
Moisture Test Report
TAPPI T412 standard moisture test. Multiple bale samples tested per container. Shows individual sample results, average moisture, specification limit, and pass/fail result.
Certificate of Quality
Quality certificate showing actual test results vs. specification limits for prohibitives, outthrows + prohibitives, moisture content, bale weight, packaging, and container load.
All documents shown are redacted samples. Actual documents are provided to confirmed buyers with each shipment. Third-party inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas) available on request.
Our Sourcing & Quality Control Operations
Real warehouse photos showing how we organize, verify, and prepare material for export. Every bale is inspected and documented before loading.
Transparency in action: These are actual photos from our sourcing and warehouse operations. We maintain strict quality control at every stage—from supplier qualification through final loading. No surprises at destination.
Risk Mitigation
International fiber trading involves real risks: quality disputes, payment defaults, shipping damage, and documentation errors. Here is how we address each one.
Payment Security
- Letter of Credit (LC) at sight through confirmed bank — standard for first-time buyers
- T/T (wire transfer) available for established relationships
- CAD (Cash Against Documents) for qualified repeat buyers
- Payment terms are agreed in writing before any material is sourced
Third-Party Inspection
- SGS or Bureau Veritas inspection available at loading port
- Independent verification of grade, moisture, bale weight, and container condition
- Inspection report provided to buyer before document release
- Cost borne by requesting party (buyer or seller, per agreement)
Quality Assurance
- Moisture tested per TAPPI T412 standard — multiple bale samples per container
- Prohibitive and outthrow levels verified against ISRI grade specifications
- Certificate of Quality issued with actual test results vs. specification limits
- Claims process follows ISRI Trading Rules and Guidelines
Shipping & Insurance
- Marine cargo insurance available (CIF terms) — covers loss or damage in transit
- Container loading documented with photographs (pre-load, during, sealed)
- Tracking number, vessel name, and ETA provided at time of shipment
- All shipments from major U.S. ports (Savannah, Charleston, Houston, Norfolk)
Supply Chain Infrastructure
Sourcing 1,500+ containers annually requires more than relationships. It requires infrastructure. Conglobus operates with a distributed network of logistics partners, testing facilities, and warehouse coordination points that enable consistent, high-volume operations.
TAPPI T412-certified moisture testing at source. Prohibitive analysis per ISRI standards. Bale integrity verification. Every container is tested before it enters our supply chain — not after it ships.
Partnerships with freight forwarders, port operators, and shipping lines. Coordinated loading from major U.S. ports (Savannah, Charleston, Houston, Norfolk). Real-time tracking and documentation management.
Automated generation of Bills of Lading, Commercial Invoices, Packing Lists, Certificates of Quality, and Certificates of Origin. Third-party inspection coordination. Full compliance with international trade requirements.
Why This Matters for Buyers
Consistency
Infrastructure enables us to fulfill recurring orders on schedule. No delays. No excuses. If we commit to 100 containers per month, you get 100 containers per month.
Reliability
Our logistics network is built for redundancy. If one port is congested, we route through another. If one supplier has a disruption, we source from another. Your supply chain doesn't stop.
