How We Support High-Stakes Deals in the Chemicals, Machinery, and High-Precision Sectors
In today’s fractured trade environment, high-value industrial transactions often trigger a minefield of compliance, jurisdictional constraints, and payment bottlenecks. Lokiva helps businesses navigate this complexity—quietly, efficiently, and without interruption.
The Challenge: Sensitive Goods in a Fragmented System
Transactions involving machinery, chemicals, and specialized equipment are under increasing scrutiny from:
- Export control regimes (e.g., Wassenaar Arrangement, US EAR).
- Financial sanctions and blacklists.
- Commodity-specific customs controls.
Traditional financial institutions treat such deals as red flags, blocking or delaying settlements—even when all documentation is in order.
Our Solution: Structured, Risk-Adjusted Transaction Flows
At Lokiva, we act as a trusted intermediary, building operational scaffolding for trade execution:
- Contract architecture review to isolate high-risk clauses or payment conditions.
- Counterparty compliance analysis, including secondary ownership checks.
- Risk-distributed settlement plans via multiple corridors (e.g., TH–TR–KG–CN).
Case Study: Industrial Cooling Systems to Central Asia
In March 2025, a engineering firm needed to deliver modular cooling infrastructure to a plant in Kazakhstan, with equipment sourced from Turkey and paid for by a client in Dubai.
Risks involved:
- Items on the EU dual-use control list.
- based accounting in 1C ERP.
- Bank limitations on multicurrency accounts.
What we did:
- Isolated the commercial invoice line-items by sensitivity level.
- Executed two-phase settlement: one via yuan from HK, the second via dirham from a Thai structure.
- Used Lokiva as agent-of-record to shield principals in customs filings.
Why Industrial Clients Rely on Lokiva
- Multi-tiered risk separation: We build transactional firewalls where others just flag risk.
- Operational discretion: Your counterpart sees payment—not the backend structure.
- Institutional-grade procedures: Our KYC, compliance logs, and ERP connectors hold up to audit-grade scrutiny.
Industrial Doesn’t Mean Impossible
Whether it’s programmable lathes, polymer tanks, or control valves — we help your cross-border deals go through when others say “too complex.”
Trade isn’t dead.
It just got smarter.
Lokiva makes it executable.
