Welcome to the first Intermediary trading site created by Global Author and world leading expert Davide Giovanni Papa of FTN Exporting (EST 1988) . SMICE is the trading division of FTN Exporting. Informed long standing SMICE Agents have greatly assisted FTN Exporting in the creation of SMICE, without such, the inception of the SMICE index would nearly be impossible. Procuring goods is a risky business for most of the time whether one conducts business with a Principal, and even more so when one conducts such business with ill informed inter net type type of traders, in a market chockablock with false offers, scams and impaired trading applications.

Suppliers and End buyers when dealing with each other contribute the most mistakes made of all traders, because most use ill conceived and incompatible procedures ; and even attempt short cuts while trading. Such direct entities doing business with each other have contributed to around 70% of all document presentation failures on first attempt, now give more insight on why such principals should be using FTN Exporting SMICE Agents. SMICE applies strict trading procedures build upon nothing less that a premise of safety. Our well defined trading procedures have contingencies build within reinforcing the FTN Exporting primary Doctrine. Indiscernible is the fact that SMICE adheres to the “Doctrine of Strict Compliance” at all times , the same internal safe principles used in business, as applied by large Corporate entities, Government bodies and especially Banks. SMICE agents are selected, highly trained, and exclusive members of FTN Exporting. Figures to date indicate that from every 250 potential applicants, one entity eventually will end up a FTN /SMICE Agent. Obtaining personal mentor ship and ultimately membership with FTN Exporting is very difficult to consummate . All Licensed agent have been mentored personally by FTN Exporting CEO Davide Giovanni Papa. Each are bearers of the FTN doctrine. Most Licensed members have taken years to become a SMICE endorsed commodity Agent in where such conducts business following explicitly the much lauded FTN Exporting Doctrine of Trade and supporting Rules ( See:URPIB: via www.itsi.itgo.com ) All SMICE Agents must be versed in all relevant matters of Agency , UCP 600 Letters of Credit Rules, Incoterms 2000 and soon 3000 Delivery Rules , Rules of Contract formation, Matters of Due Diligence, Banking, Legalities, Document presentation, Sourcing, Liabilities and Shipping; just the name of few. When we imply a status of Professional Intermediary, we are speaking of leaders in their field of endeavour, entities who are ostensibly or otherwise the worlds leading Buyers and Sellers of Commodities, using an Agency regime of operation; the first practice of its kind ever created under one uniform and formidable Discipline.

End buyers will get their goods as offered by SMICE and Suppliers will get paid long before ship leaves loading port. There are no grey areas. We do not take risks. A SMICE transaction simply does not move forward unless such is able to so untainted. Laws , rules and local customs pertaining to a race, creed or country of the Supplier or End buyer are irrelevant , because SMICE by defacto enforces all commitments under a regime of strict uniformity of superior current acceptable International Trade Laws and delivery rules. SMICE has simply reinforced such rules of trade by extrapolating and adapting such for use by the worlds first uniform professional intermediary trading group .FTN Exporting formally presents SMICE to all Supplier and Ends Buyers world wide.
