The day of a successful delivery matching is defined as the first delivery day (D1) and the subsequent fourteen days are respectively defined as the D2, D3, (……), and D15.

1. D1: The buyer and the seller make declarations for delivery. After completion of delivery declaration, the buyer and the seller matched successfully shall pay the Exchange 20% of the value of the delivery items (as per the settlement price on that day) as delivery margin. Meanwhile, the Exchange will check and return their corresponding performance bonds of electronic trading contract. If the delivery matching fails, the corresponding trader will obtain compensatory payment for delayed delivery in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Exchange.

2. D2: Delivery matching is conducted, the buyer pays the bill and the seller submits an inventory certificate. Before 9:00 am on the D2, the buyer submits an Application Form for Delivery Intention, including commodity name, quantity, name of the designated delivery warehouse and other information. But the final delivery is determined by the matching results from the Exchange. Before 16:00 pm on the D2, the buyer shall pay the Exchange (on behalf of the seller) the remaining 80% of the value of the delivery items. Meanwhile, the seller must submit a legal and valid inventory certificate to the Exchange and pay off warehouse charges calculated till 5^th delivery day (including D5).

The buyer can go to the warehouse and take delivery of goods by itself, or entrust a third party with goods picking-up or entrust a designated delivery warehouse with goods dispatching. However, in case of the third option, the buyer shall supervise such dispatching at the warehouse. If the buyer fails to do so, the buyer will be deemed to have accepted the fact that the goods are dispatched from the designated delivery warehouse correctly.
