Background
In 2014, Bakhter Trading LLC entered a contract with Sabnaz International to purchase alfalfa hay and related animal feed. The publisher says the order covered more than 25 containers. Bakhter Trading LLC states that it paid $148,000 USD in advance.
Sabnaz International is described in the publisher’s records as a California commodities trader operating from 2625 Townsgate Road, Suite 330, Westlake Village, CA 91361, United States, with a public website at sabnazintl.com.
What Bakhter says went wrong
According to Bakhter Trading LLC, Sabnaz International did not deliver the goods as agreed and did not refund the advance. The company says later attempts to resolve the matter were ignored or refused, and that the funds remain outstanding years after the contract year.

Why this matters beyond one invoice
Advance-payment supply contracts in cross-border feed and commodities trades depend on delivery or a clean refund. Bakhter Trading LLC published this file so counterparties, researchers, and anyone evaluating Sabnaz International can read the claim in one place rather than in scattered messages.
