Agricultural Commodity Broker · Georgia, USA

Compliance & Verification Policy

SD-DOC-03 · Onboarding Checklist · Version 1.2 · Effective: August 2026

Required for all new trade partners, Buyers and Sellers, before active trade begins.

Purpose

Why We Require This

Stratos Dynamics LLC is responsible for the integrity of every introduction we make. The elevators, crush plants, and Buyers in our network have trusted us with their business relationships. To protect that network, and every party in it, we require basic verification of all new trade partners before any active trade begins.

This is not a credit check. It is not a background investigation. It is the same standard a grain elevator applies before opening a new account: we need to know we are dealing with a real, operating U.S. business.

Eligibility

Stratos Dynamics transacts exclusively with verified U.S. business entities in good standing, including:

Screening

Sanctions & Restricted-Party Screening

Before onboarding, Stratos Dynamics LLC screens the business entity and its named contacts against the U.S. Treasury OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list and other applicable restricted-party lists. We do not transact with any entity or individual appearing on a U.S. government sanctions or denied-party list, and we will not proceed where screening cannot be completed.

Submission

How to Submit

Send all completed documents to: trade@stratosdynamics.org

Verification is typically confirmed within one (1) business day of receiving complete documentation. No product offers, pricing, or Seller introductions will be provided until verification is complete.

Discretion

Right to Decline

Stratos Dynamics LLC reserves the right to decline or discontinue any trade relationship at our sole discretion, without obligation to provide a reason. This is not a background check or credit inquiry, it is a baseline business and sanctions verification.
