FAQ
Straight answers.
You describe the product, specification, quantity, destination, timing and preferred terms in a short multi-step form. Approximate answers are fine and most fields are optional.
The Offport team reviews the requirement. If we identify relevant supply, we contact you before any introduction is made.
Possibly, when there is a genuine fit. The Offport team makes introductions only when both parties have agreed.
We cannot promise that a match will be found for every submission.
Your name, company and contact details are never published and are not shared with another buyer or supplier without your permission. Before an introduction, we share only non-identifying details of the requirement or supply.
Identities remain protected through discovery, matching and negotiation, and are disclosed only when both parties accept the final price and key terms.
No. Offport does not guarantee matches, introductions, prices, orders, payment or delivery. Commercial decisions remain with buyers and sellers.
Offport is not a bank, payment institution, lender, insurer or escrow provider, and never holds customer funds. Licensed partners handle payment services.
Nothing is paid or collected through this website.
The more precise the specification, the more useful the review. Product, quantity, destination or origin, timing and preferred terms matter most.
If you do not know something — an HS code, a target price or an exact port — leave it blank or choose “Not sure”.
Yes. Submit each product or requirement separately so it can be reviewed on its own terms.
