02 / A CLEAR REGIONAL DISTINCTIONOrigin. Trade desk.
Origin. Trade desk.
Transit.
These three locations can be different. Keeping them separate makes a proposal easier to assess and a delivery discussion more precise.
Where the activity is developing.
Zambia and Tanzania are the focus of trade-desk development. This does not establish the origin of every offered lot.
Where the cargo leaves the region.
A port or transit country is part of the route. It does not change the material’s documented production origin.
