Check packaging, coil/ingot specifications, and shipping weight tolerances
Verify anti-dumping duty exposure for the origin country and product code

What suppliers should prepare

Provide mill test certificates and traceability documentation with every shipment

Be transparent about anti-dumping duty status for your origin country
Offer flexible lot sizes to serve both large industrial and smaller fabrication buyers

Compliance & trade notes

Metal exports often carry anti-dumping or countervailing duties depending on origin and HS code, and buyers increasingly require responsible-sourcing or recycled-content documentation.

Frequently asked questions

Require an EN 10204 3.1 (or 3.2 for critical work) mill test certificate confirming chemical composition and mechanical properties, and consider a third-party inspection like SGS or Bureau Veritas for spectro and dimensional checks at loading. Traceability heat numbers should match the certificate to the physical coils or bars.

Steel and aluminium from certain origins carry punitive AD/CVD margins in the US and EU, and the US Section 232 tariffs plus the EU's CBAM carbon levy add further cost by origin and HS code. Always confirm the exact commodity code and country before assuming a landed price.

China leads steel and aluminium output, Australia and Brazil dominate iron ore, Chile and Peru anchor copper, and South Africa supplies platinum-group metals and chrome. Turkey and the Gulf are competitive sources for rebar and long products into Europe and Africa.
