How we work
The value of a trading house lies in execution. PSI integrates five capabilities under one organisation and takes every order through the same eight controlled stages, from confirmation to close-out.
Five integrated capabilities
Sourcing & procurement
Supplier qualification, negotiation at origin and purchase orders placed on the Group's own account, with specifications and terms fixed in writing before procurement begins.
Quality assurance
The Group's quality office in China monitors production and supervises pre-shipment inspection, supplemented by SGS, Bureau Veritas or other agencies where the destination market requires independent certification.
Logistics
Vessel space secured with major carriers, loading supervised at origin, and container and seal numbers recorded and communicated on the day of loading.
Documentation
Complete export document sets — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificates of origin and conformity — prepared in-house and cross-verified before release.
Trade finance
Settlement through the European banking system under documentary collection or letter of credit, with payment released against conforming documents.
Eight controlled stages
Confirmation
The order is confirmed by proforma invoice stating specifications, quantities, packing, price basis and terms. Procurement begins only once the signed proforma is received.
Procurement & production
The purchase order is placed with the qualified supplier, the production deposit is paid, and the production schedule is monitored weekly against the confirmed ready date.
Pre-shipment inspection
The Group's quality team — and, where required, an independent agency — inspects the goods before the container is sealed. Inspection references are carried onto the commercial documents.
Booking & loading
Vessel space is booked, loading is supervised, and container, seal and vessel details are reported to the customer on the day of loading.
Shipping documentation
The full document set is prepared in-house and cross-verified for consistency of weights, descriptions, values and references before release.
Settlement
Documents are presented through the Group's European banks under documentary collection or letter of credit; payment is released against conforming documents.
Original documents
Originals are dispatched by courier to the customer's bank and tracked to delivery, enabling clearance on arrival of the vessel.
Arrival & close-out
Vessel arrival, release and clearance are monitored; the order is closed when the goods are released to the customer.
