Professional Trade Workflow

From Animal Record
to Buyer Collection

GEKUMI separates catalog identity, buyer verification, availability, destination review, documentation and shipment preparation into distinct B2B trade stages.

Trade Process at a Glance

Seven Stages, One Controlled Trade Workflow

Each stage answers a different operational question. Progress in one stage does not automatically approve the next.

01

Browse Animal Records

Start from the public catalog, scientific identity and representative animal records.

02

Verify Trade Account

Professional buyer information and trade access are handled separately from public catalog browsing.

03

Availability & RFQ

Identify requested animals, quantities, intended destination and buyer context.

04

Destination Review

Review the relevant species, market baseline, buyer and shipment-specific requirements.

05

Quote & Trade Terms

Commercial discussion follows current availability, buyer status and intended shipment context.

06

Documentation & Shipment

Prepare relevant records, commercial documents, packaging and transport coordination.

07

Arrival & Buyer Collection

Destination-side procedures and collection remain the buyer / importer's responsibility where applicable.

Before an RFQ

Prepare the Buyer and Destination Context

A useful RFQ begins with more than an animal name. The trade team needs enough context to understand the buyer, requested records and destination before commercial discussion.

01
Buyer / Company InformationProfessional buyer identity and contact information appropriate to the trade request.
02
Requested Animal RecordsSpecies, scientific name, record ID, morph / locality and quantity where known.
03
Destination MarketIdentify Japan, South Korea or the intended professional destination.
04
Intended Trade TimingProvide the intended sourcing or shipment window when known.
05
Buyer-Side Qualification ContextRelevant importer, business or destination-side preparation is reviewed separately.
Availability → RFQ

Convert Catalog Interest into a Trade Request

Public catalog records are reference points. Current allocation, price and trade preparation begin only when the actual RFQ context is reviewed.

STEP / 01

Identify Records

Reference the scientific name, animal record ID, morph / locality and quantity where available.

Example: GE-LG-2026-001 · Leopard Gecko · Quantity 3
STEP / 02

Confirm Buyer & Destination

Add the professional buyer context and intended destination so availability can be reviewed in the correct trade context.

Example: Verified buyer · Japan · intended commercial import
STEP / 03

Submit the RFQ

GEKUMI reviews the request before any allocation, quotation or shipment discussion is treated as confirmed.

RFQ is a trade request — not an animal reservation by itself.
Pre-Shipment Review

Five Review Surfaces Before Shipment Execution

Shipment preparation combines multiple review layers. A species record alone is never treated as complete approval.

01

Species

Scientific identity and the relevant recorded species context.

02

Buyer

Professional buyer qualification and destination-side preparedness.

03

Destination

Current market context for the actual intended destination.

04

Documents

Commercial and supporting records relevant to the shipment context.

05

Route

Transport preparation, route context and collection planning.

Documents & Logistics Preparation

Built Around the Actual Shipment, Not a Generic Checklist

The exact document set and logistics preparation depend on the animal, buyer, destination and shipment context.

Animal Records

Individual or batch records, scientific identity, source context and internal traceability information.

RECORD LAYER

Commercial Documents

Commercial paperwork is prepared against the actual confirmed trade and shipment.

TRADE LAYER

Supporting Records

Additional supporting records are reviewed where relevant to the species and destination.

REVIEW LAYER

Packaging & Transport

Live-animal packaging and transport coordination are prepared for the actual shipment context.

LOGISTICS LAYER
Destination Review

Built for Japan & South Korea Trade Review

Each destination keeps its own review path. The public catalog and generic trade process do not replace destination-specific review.

Japan

Japan Trade Preparation

Scientific-name, trade-control, buyer and shipment-specific review are handled through the Japan workflow.

Japan Import Guide →
South Korea

Korea Trade Preparation

Scientific-name review, buyer qualification, current-list checks and shipment review remain separate stages.

Responsibility Split

GEKUMI and the Buyer Do Not Perform the Same Role

A professional B2B live-animal trade workflow depends on clear responsibility boundaries on both sides.

GEKUMI

Animal / Record PreparationPrepare the relevant captive-bred animal and internal record context.
Trade CoordinationReview the RFQ, quotation context and shipment preparation workflow.
Export-Side PreparationCoordinate the seller-side documents and logistics relevant to the actual shipment.
Shipment CommunicationMaintain agreed trade and logistics communication with the professional buyer.

Buyer / Importer

Buyer QualificationMaintain the buyer-side professional eligibility relevant to the transaction.
Destination-Side RequirementsConfirm destination-side obligations and importer responsibilities where applicable.
Import / Authority ProceduresComplete buyer-side import or authority procedures that remain the importer's responsibility.
Arrival / CollectionCoordinate destination-side collection, pickup or onward handling as applicable.
Arrival & Buyer Collection

The Trade Workflow Continues After Departure

Destination-side arrival, authority procedures and collection are separate from seller-side shipment preparation.

01

Arrival

The shipment reaches the agreed destination and enters the applicable destination-side process.

02

Importer / Authority Procedures

Buyer-side or authority procedures are completed according to the actual destination and shipment context.

03

Buyer Collection / Pickup

The importer coordinates collection or pickup and assumes the destination-side live-animal handling responsibility.

Information Boundary

Trade Preparation Does Not Establish Clearance

Catalog presence, buyer verification, quotation, document preparation or shipment coordination does not guarantee destination acceptance, customs clearance or authority approval. Shipment-specific review remains required.
