Financial and Trade Consulting
Supporting your company in the major concerns with an expert team.
At Hammick LLC we help companies of every size navigate an increasingly complex economic environment. Our financial and trade consulting is tailored to each client and built on three things: rigorous data analysis, sound financial strategy and deep specialist knowledge of international trade.
Our expertise lies in the international protein trade and in the import and export regulations of the United States, Mexico, the European Union, the Middle East, China and Southeast Asia. We have worked this market in different roles across the world for thirty years, and that experience is what we put to work for our clients: finding the right sourcing solutions and identifying the markets worth developing.
We also offer a complementary service that helps companies trade with greater confidence across borders, combining secure international payment arrangements with protection against currency movements.
How can we help you today?
-
The seafood, meat and poultry markets have changed beyond recognition over the past twenty years. Regulation has tightened, and the companies that have held their place in the most demanding distribution channels are those with the strongest operations and the best advice behind them.
We work alongside our clients as an extension of their own team, bringing clarity to the sourcing processes that most often go wrong: qualifying suppliers, reading the import and export rules of each market, and identifying where the margin actually is. It makes a company more competitive without the cost of expanding headcount.
We are not brokers. We are consultants, and what we put at your disposal is thirty years of market knowledge and the contacts that come with it.

Bringing a medical device, a pharmaceutical product or hospital equipment into Mexico means dealing with a health authority that grants no shortcuts. The requirements are exacting and the timelines depend on getting the file right the first time.
Our team in Mexico City handles the process end to end: sanitary registration, customs clearance, access to public tenders and distribution to the end customer through partner companies. Client demand is what led us to build it, and it is what keeps it specialised.

Every cross-border transaction begins with someone taking a risk, usually whoever pays first. We reduce that exposure by structuring the operation around a bank-held escrow deposit: the funds sit with the banking institution, not with us, and are released once the agreed terms of the contract have been verified as met.
We also advise on forward exchange cover, so that the rate is fixed at the date of the agreement and a currency movement between signature and payment does not eat into either side's margin. The cover is contracted by the client with its own bank; our role is to structure it and to determine what needs protecting.
