It seems essential to pay attention to the discussion of legal requirements from the stage of preparing the sale or purchase contract and choosing the appropriate purchase term. Detailed familiarity with mandatory and incentive standards in the countries of origin and destination, understanding health and safety regulations, preparing efficient inspection contracts with one of the inspection companies and using various inspection services, preparing a transportation contract and accepting acceptable bills of lading, controlling various health and safety certificates of the goods and effective and reliable control methods, and finally conducting quantitative and qualitative tests and examinations of the cargo in various processes are among these important requirements.
Otherwise, the first mistake may be the last mistake of companies and businesses, because the extent of the damages incurred is sometimes so great that it will cost the company or business the bankruptcy, liquidation, and closure.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended that traders and companies active in the grain and oilseed trade use the legal and advisory services of active lawyers familiar with the risks and hazards of this field of trade and industry, from the beginning to the end of the domestic and international trade process and even beyond that, all year round.
Another point is that the legal education of those involved in this field of trade is related to the regulations, dynamic and standard form contracts of GAFTA, and especially the regulations governing the resolution of disputes of this organization in the field of international arbitration, which the business community and merchants of the Iranian grain and oilseed industry do not have a relative knowledge of. In the field of trade and commerce of Iran, there is a long way to go before the use of prominent legal advisors and prominent lawyers by stakeholders becomes a common and customary culture. Therefore, it seems that the role of trade unions and professional associations in launching short-term training courses in promoting compliance with legal requirements is of great importance.
