Procurement
Sourcing the right goods through a coordinated supply chain.
Overview
Procurement and logistics coordinated through one point of contact.
Duatsung provides procurement, sourcing, import, export, and supply solutions for businesses and organizations operating across domestic and international markets.
We help customers identify and source products, coordinate suppliers and transportation, and manage the movement of goods from origin to destination.
Our procurement capabilities cover general merchandise, timber, and other commodities and products that can be legally sourced and traded under applicable regulations and licensing requirements.
By combining procurement with our logistics and freight capabilities, Duatsung can coordinate more of the supply chain through a single point of contact.

Four sourcing capabilities
Select a capability to see what it covers and how the sourcing process runs.
01 General Merchandise Trading Sourcing products for businesses, organizations, and commercial buyers.
Duatsung supports the sourcing and supply of general merchandise for customers requiring products from domestic or international markets.
We work with customers to understand their product specifications, quantity requirements, budget, delivery location, and timeline before coordinating appropriate sourcing and logistics arrangements. Our capabilities can include:
- Consumer goods
- Household products
- Commercial supplies
- Industrial products
- Equipment and materials
- Automotive-related products
- Agricultural products
- Bulk merchandise
- Business supplies
- Other legally traded goods
Our procurement process
For larger orders, we can coordinate procurement and logistics requirements around containerized or consolidated shipments. This allows customers to address the purchasing and transportation components of an order as part of one coordinated process.
02 Timber Merchant Connecting timber supply with legitimate commercial demand.
Duatsung supports the sourcing and trading of timber and related products for eligible commercial customers.
Our approach focuses on sourcing timber according to the customer's required specifications. Where timber is sourced internationally, the transaction is handled with consideration for applicable export, import, environmental, documentation, and trade requirements.
- Species
- Grade
- Dimensions
- Quantity
- Intended application
- Origin
- Destination
Timber procurement process
For commercial buyers, we can coordinate procurement requirements together with transportation and international freight arrangements, creating a more structured process from the initial timber requirement through to delivery.
03 Gold Merchant Responsible commodity sourcing and trade.
Duatsung can support the sourcing and trading of gold and other eligible commodities only where the applicable licenses, permits, regulatory requirements, and transaction conditions are satisfied.
Because precious metals are subject to strict regulatory, financial, export, import, and anti-money-laundering requirements, every transaction must be appropriately documented and verified before proceeding. Our approach emphasizes:
- Verified counterparties
- Appropriate documentation
- Regulatory compliance
- Transaction transparency
- Responsible sourcing
- Secure logistics
- Required licensing and permits
Gold transaction process
Gold transactions are evaluated individually based on the applicable jurisdiction, transaction structure, licensing requirements, and regulatory obligations. We do not treat regulated commodity transactions as ordinary merchandise orders.
04 International Procurement Connecting suppliers and buyers across markets.
Duatsung supports cross-border procurement between the United States, Ghana, Nigeria, and other markets where appropriate.
We can coordinate:
- Supplier identification
- Product sourcing
- Commercial purchasing
- Export coordination
- Import coordination
- Freight forwarding
- Container shipping
- Transportation
- Destination delivery
For businesses purchasing goods internationally, this provides a more coordinated path from supplier selection to final delivery.
