Three disciplines, one accountability
A trading house does more than introduce a buyer to a seller. It carries the commercial risk of the transaction, and answers for the goods up to the agreed delivery point.
01
Source
Identifying and qualifying producers, competitive tendering against a specification, negotiating prices and terms. Every reference is canvassed with several factories before being offered.
02
Inspect
Sampling, independent third-party pre-shipment inspection against an AQL plan, verification of labelling and destination-market compliance, assembly of the document set.
03
Deliver
Booking freight, consolidating where the lot warrants it, documentary follow-up through customs clearance, delivery on the agreed Incoterm — from FOB at port of shipment to DAP at destination warehouse.
What we trade
Four core families, plus sourcing to specification for anything outside them.
Non-Food Consumer Goods

A network organised around Port Louis
Goods do not necessarily transit through Mauritius: they travel by the most direct route between factory and buyer. What converges on Port Louis is the decision-making — negotiation, contracting, documentary and financial coordination.

Which Incoterms does SELA trade on?

Every offer states the rule, the named place and the edition, and is usually quoted on at least two bases so that landed costs can be compared.
