Due diligence
OECD compliant, origin declared
The DRC produces most of the world's cobalt. Buyers in the battery and automotive supply chain require an unbroken chain of custody from mine to port. Every parcel Eagle Star Group places carries an origin declaration and a full OECD due diligence record, so the material enters the supply chain clean.
KYC and sanctions screening run on both sides before contract. The buyer's 20 percent mobilisation deposit is held in escrow against proof of product, refundable if inspection or assay fails the declared specification.
