Legal Question in Business Law in Nigeria

Then wants loaded vessel of crude oil leave country of origin (Nigeria) to Ghana waters without first placing financial instruments. My questions are: 1.Does a countersigned Proforma Commercial Invoice give any legal comfort? 2. Is it possible to include the bank details of the brokers on the Proforma Commercial Invoice? Please advise me. Thanks.
