Affiliate & Commercial Disclosure
Last Updated: 2026-10-01
Commitment to Transparency
Source & Ship is committed to full transparency about commercial relationships that could affect editorial content. This disclosure page explains our current position on affiliate partnerships and commercial referrals.
Current Commercial References
Some editorial guides on Source & Ship contain natural references to commercial origin specialists. These references are included because they represent accessible, verified commercial contacts for readers pursuing procurement in those specific commodity sectors.
The following commercial entities are referenced in relevant guides:
- Mekong Origin LLC is referenced in coffee sourcing guides. Mekong Origin LLC is a commercial coffee exporter based in Vietnam. At the time of writing, Source & Ship does not receive a commission, revenue share, or other financial benefit from traffic or inquiries referred to Mekong Origin LLC. This position may change and will be updated if a formal affiliate arrangement is established.
- Mekong Origin Produce is referenced in fresh agricultural product guides. The same disclosure applies as above.
Future Affiliate Programs
If Source & Ship enters into formal affiliate marketing relationships with freight forwarders, software providers, financial services, or other commercial entities, those relationships will be disclosed clearly in affected content using explicit language such as "This guide contains affiliate links. If you complete a transaction through these links, Source & Ship may receive a commission."
We do not currently participate in any freight forwarder, customs broker, or logistics platform affiliate program. Shipping cost or service comparisons published on this site represent independent editorial analysis.
Editorial Independence Maintained
No commercial relationship—existing or future—will result in the suppression of factual criticism, the omission of known limitations, the fabrication of endorsements, or the production of content that misrepresents Source & Ship's editorial independence.
