Global Commodity Brokers was founded in the United States as a discreet, principal-aligned brokerage serving the international commodity trade. Our headquarters at 1000 Brickell Avenue places us at the center of Miami’s financial district — a deliberate choice that reflects our positioning between the producing economies of the Americas and the demand centers of Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
The firm was built on a single observation: high-volume commodity trade is too often undermined by unverified counterparties, opaque intermediaries, and improperly structured documentation. Our model corrects for this. Every transaction we facilitate is conducted under U.S. legal jurisdiction, screened against OFAC sanctions, supported by SGS or Intertek inspection, and structured around standard ICC banking instruments — Letters of Credit, SBLCs, and Bank Performance Guarantees.
We are not a marketplace. We are not an aggregator. We are a specialist brokerage with a closed network of vetted producers, refiners, and end-users, where every introduction is preceded by due diligence and every trade is closed with a complete documentary package. Our clients work with us because we make the complex defensible — and because, when they sign, they know exactly who is on the other side.

— Operating Principles
How We Conduct Every Transaction.
These are not aspirations. They are the working rules every member of the firm — partners and staff — applies to every counterparty, every contract, and every shipment we touch.
PRINCIPLE 01
Verified Before Engaged
No counterparty enters our network without complete KYC, OFAC screening, and corporate verification. We have walked away from major transactions when documentation was inadequate, and we will continue to do so.
PRINCIPLE 02
Documented End-to-End
Every trade is supported by a complete documentary package — Bill of Lading, SGS analysis, Certificate of Origin, Commercial Invoice, Insurance Certificate. If a step cannot be documented, it does not happen.
PRINCIPLE 03
Disclosed, Not Hidden
Our brokerage role is fully disclosed to both principals from the first NDA forward. We do not stack hidden mandates and we do not insert undisclosed fee layers between the parties.
PRINCIPLE 04
U.S. Law as Default
Contracts are written under U.S. governing law unless explicitly negotiated otherwise. Disputes go to ICC arbitration. This is non-negotiable for buyers and sellers who trade with us.
PRINCIPLE 05
Banks We Recognise
Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees are accepted only from rated financial institutions on our approved list. We do not entertain instruments from non-correspondent or unrated issuers under any circumstance.
PRINCIPLE 06
Discretion as Standard
Counterparty identities, pricing terms, and corridor information remain confidential. We do not publish client lists, we do not name principals, and we do not market deals after the fact.
— Headquarters
Brickell Avenue, Miami, Florida.
Our offices sit on Brickell Avenue, the financial corridor of Miami — a deliberate location at the gateway between U.S. capital markets and the producing economies of Latin America, the Caribbean, and beyond.
