in sight

 

A term describing deliverable grades of commodities underlying futures contracts that are held in approved delivery facilities near terminals, centralized locations or production areas.

Investopedia Says:
When a commodity is considered 'in sight', contract holders can assume that delivery of the actuals will be prompt, and that the quantity and quality will be precise rather than estimated.
