Frequently asked — Makeni

What is All Frontier Global Nexus?
All Frontier Global Nexus (AJG) is a commission-only trade brokerage representing both buyer and seller principals simultaneously. We do not charge retainers, consulting fees, or upfront costs. Our fee is a commission paid only when a trade transaction is completed. We operate across 50 verticals, 185 countries, 273 FTAs, and 36 bilateral corridors.
What does 'both principals' mean?
AJG represents both the exporter (seller principal) and the importer (buyer principal) simultaneously. Unlike traditional brokers who represent only one side, AJG' commission-only model means our interest is aligned with completing the transaction — which benefits both parties. Full disclosure is maintained with both principals at all times.
Can both a buyer and a seller submit mandates for the same product?
Yes — and this is AJG' most efficient route. When a buyer mandate and a seller mandate match (same product, compatible volumes, compatible quality specs and certifications), AJG can work both simultaneously, accelerating the matching process.
Can I mandate AJG to find a buyer in multiple countries simultaneously?
Yes. A multi-country mandate is priced with a higher commission rate to reflect the additional complexity and the value of multi-market access. AJG will specify which markets are covered in the mandate agreement.
What documents are required to export pharma to Saudi Arabia?
For Indian pharma exports to Saudi Arabia: (1) SFDA (Saudi Food and Drug Authority) product registration — mandatory, 12-24 months, (2) Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certificate — WHO-GMP or equivalent, (3) Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CPP) issued by CDSCO, (4) Halal certification for capsule shells containing gelatin, (5) Commercial invoice with Arabic translation, (6) Certificate of Origin (COO) from FIEO or Chamber of Commerce, (7) Packing list, (8) Bill of Lading, (9) SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization) certificate for selected products.
