Verify at origin. Buy with evidence.
You carry the compliance liability and the payment risk — your supplier carries the data. OriginTrace closes that gap: your exporters document farms, lab tests, certificates, and shipments at origin, and you verify all of it from one buyer workspace before your money is on the water.

From source to payment — every step connected
Every supplier says they're compliant. You're the one who pays if they aren't.
Rejected consignments bill the importer of record. Regulators fine the first operator placing goods on the market — not the exporter. And a forged certificate looks exactly like a real one in a PDF. The only durable answer is standing visibility into your supply chain at origin: records that accumulate as your supplier operates, instead of a data pack assembled the week you asked for it.
One supplier record. Every regime you answer to.
EU Importers
EUDR due diligence lands on you, not your supplier — from 30 December 2026, with fines up to 4% of turnover. OriginTrace gives you plot-level geolocation, deforestation cross-checks, and a DDS-ready data pack per consignment, plus the food-safety paper trail that gets sesame and spices through border controls.

The UK Environment Act 2021 prohibits larger businesses from using forest-risk commodities unless due diligence proves legal harvest — a due diligence system you must establish and report on annually. OriginTrace gives you the farm-level evidence trail: legal land status, verified identity, and a source-to-shipment record your supplier maintains as they operate.

The Lacey Act prohibits trading commodities harvested in violation of the country of origin's laws, and requires a customs declaration stating species, quantity, and harvest origin — false declarations are a federal offence. USDA NOP adds documented chain-of-custody on top. OriginTrace captures the GPS coordinates, verified identity, and legal land status your declaration and organic certification both need.

GACC enforcement is live: unregistered facilities are refused at Chinese ports. Verify that your supplier's facility registration, traceability records, and documentation hold up before the contract is signed.

Clear Dubai Municipality inspection with a complete, consistent data pack — and keep the EU channel open on re-export. Origin follows the goods: the same supplier record that clears FIRS in Dubai satisfies due diligence in Rotterdam.
UAE complianceHow your payment actually moves.
Not a black box, and not a substitute for a letter of credit — a mechanism you can see the logic of. Four steps, each one gated on something a carrier confirmed, not something a supplier claimed.
Funds move into escrow, not to your supplier
When the contract is signed, your payment moves into a secured account instead of leaving on an invoice and a promise. Your supplier sees the funds are committed; you keep control until delivery is proven.
Every milestone is verified independently
As the shipment moves — gate-in, loaded on board, vessel departed, discharged at destination — OriginTrace checks each event against the carrier's own tracking data. Not your supplier's word. Not an estimate.
Payment releases in tranches, matched to what actually happened
Each carrier-confirmed milestone triggers its agreed share of the payment automatically. If a milestone hasn't happened, nothing moves — there's no way to release funds against a shipment that isn't where it's supposed to be.
You confirm the final release
The last tranche is never automatic. Delivery only completes when you sign off — and if a dispute is raised at any point, every remaining release freezes until it's resolved.
Your best suppliers already deal with buyers who ask for 90-day letter-of-credit terms and the documentary back-and-forth that comes with them. A buyer whose money moves against verified milestones — not months later, and not against a discrepant document — is the contract they take first.
Questions buyers ask before the first contract.
