Nooryva publishes notes on commodities, routes, customs and the practical business of moving goods. This page explains who writes them, how they are checked, and what happens when we get something wrong. It exists so that you can judge how much weight to give what you read here.

Who writes it

Everything published here is written or approved by people who do this work: the people who source the goods, book the freight and clear the customs entries. We do not commission generic trade content from writers who have never filed a declaration.

Where an article is written by a named person, that name is on it. Where it is the house’s collective view, it is published in the house’s name rather than given a fictional byline.

How we handle figures

Trade information goes stale faster than almost any other kind, so:

Every article carries the date it was published, and the date it was last revised.
Figures are given with the period they describe, not as though they were permanent.
Where a figure comes from somebody else, we say who, and link to them where we can.
Where a number is our own estimate from our own shipments, we say that too, and we do not dress it up as an industry statistic.
Tariff codes, duty rates and documentary requirements are given as a starting point for a conversation, never as a ruling. They differ by country, by consignee and by the week.

What we will not publish

No paid placement. No supplier, carrier or port authority can buy a mention here, and none of our articles are sponsored. If that ever changes, the article will say so at the top.
No invented testimonials or case studies. Where we describe a shipment we handled, it happened. Where a client asked not to be named, we say the details are anonymised rather than inventing a company.
No fabricated statistics. If we cannot point at where a number came from, it does not go in.
No content published unread. Machine translation gives us a first draft in other languages; it does not decide what the site says.

Corrections

We will get things wrong. When we do:

A factual error is corrected in the article itself, and the revision date changes.
Where the error was material, meaning somebody could have acted on it, we add a short note at the foot of the article saying what was wrong and when we fixed it. We do not quietly edit and pretend it always said that.
If an article turns out to be wrong in a way a correction cannot fix, we withdraw it and say so rather than leaving it up.

If you have spotted a mistake, write to . Tell us the page and what is wrong with it. We would much rather be corrected by a reader than keep publishing an error.

Where we are writing from

We are a trading house, not a neutral observer. We have commercial interests in the routes and commodities we write about, and our view of a market is the view of somebody who trades in it. We think that makes the practical detail better and the market commentary more partial, and you should read it in that light.

Translation

Articles are published in several languages. The English version is the one written first and the one that governs; the others exist so that the material can be read, and may lag behind a revision by a short period.

How this content may be quoted by assistants and AI search engines is set out in our AI and content policy. The limits of relying on any of it are in the disclaimer.
