Legal Question in Business Law in California

I will be sourcing products (canola oil, soy bean kernels, etc.) for a business that is headquartered in one of the former Soviet Union countries. The company is "connected" to the government of the country. Once I find the right product at the right price, etc, and they are in agreement I will have the foreign company sign an agreement that stipulates that I (or my California incorporated company which markets general merchandise products in the USA but does not do any foreign business) will be paid___% on all purchases of the products I have referred to them. Typically the purchase of products is contractual for 12 months with renewability. Please advise the best type of international contract to use in this case.
