Why TratoMar

Built for the way real trade works.

Fast

Search, inquire, sign the LOI and open escrow in one place — no chains of brokers, emails and couriers.

Secure

Payment is released only after inspection and Bill of Lading are confirmed. Importer controls the final release.

Verified

Gold badge only after government registration (IEC, GST, EIN, VAT, USCC) is reviewed by our team.

Protected

Contacts stay masked until both sides sign the LOI. NCND accepted on every deal.

Global

Any commodity, any corridor — pulses, rice, spices, metals, textiles, chemicals and more.

Fair

One small fee, falling to 0.45% and then 0.25% as you trade more with the same partner.

Container port at night

Keep more profit

Up to 5× less than a broker chain.

On a $1,000,000 shipment, a typical chain of brokers takes $30,000–$50,000. On TratoMar each side pays $9,000 on the first deal — and as little as $2,500 once you trade regularly.
