INDEPENDENT FORENSIC METHODOLOGY
Verify your supply chain with real proofs. Save your money. Save your time.
The 4-Stage Forensic Verification Process
We replace self-declarations and surface-level certificates with empirical physical evidence, mass-balance accounting, and primary-source production verification.
Current Active Engagement: Copper tubes from Vietnam (Regulation 2026/1161) — one example of how our methodology applies across steel, aluminium, rubber, timber, and other regulated ASEAN commodities.
THE FORENSIC EVIDENCE CHAIN
From Documentary Review to Physical Verification
The gap between a supplier’s self-declaration and independently verified evidence represents unhedged regulatory exposure. Tradeproofs operates a systematic forensic methodology that transitions from documentary cross-examination to on-site physical verification—testing every commercial claim against observable, measurable reality.
Our methodology is not an administrative checklist. It is a legally defensible evidence chain designed to withstand rigorous scrutiny from EU customs authorities, OLAF investigators, and trade counsel.
Systematic Proof: Every phase connects document reconciliation directly to operational realities, utility consumption, and primary material sourcing.
Documentary Mass-Balance Analysis
Cross-referencing import/export customs filings, bills of lading, purchase orders, and commercial invoices against actual factory input capacities to detect volume anomalies or circumvention markers.
Key Deliverable: Supply Chain Mass-Balance Ledger
On-Site Operational Verification
Physical factory audits verifying real-time production, active machinery, electricity utility bills, furnace capacities, and labour logs to confirm authentic local manufacturing value-add.
Key Deliverable: Factory Operational Verification Report
Upstream Traceability & Geospatial Mapping
For EUDR/CBAM compliance: tracing raw material origins back to primary extraction points, rubber plantations, timber plots, or primary smelters using geolocation data, physical audit logs, and satellite cross-checks.
Key Deliverable: Geolocation & Primary Origin Map
Audit-Ready Verification Dossier
Assembly of a legally grounded, independent forensic dossier engineered for direct submission to European Customs Authorities, OLAF inquiries, or EU CBAM Registry portals.
Key Deliverable: Forensic Compliance Dossier
The same 4-Stage Audit methodology applies to steel, aluminium, rubber, timber, and other regulated commodities across ASEAN.
Our current active engagement is copper tubes from Vietnam — one example of our methodology in action.
