Steel Pricing FAQ

What do the steel prices on this page represent? +

All prices are indicative FOB China prices in USD per metric ton (USD/MT). They represent factory EXW price plus standard inland freight to major Chinese ports (Shanghai, Tianjin, Qingdao). Prices are for standard commercial grades and typical specifications. Actual transaction price may vary based on exact grade, coating weight, surface finish, quantity, and payment terms.

How often are prices updated? +

Steel prices are updated regularly based on current market conditions, Shanghai Futures Exchange data, Tangshan spot market, and major mill announcements (Baosteel, Shougang, Ansteel, TISCO). The "Last Updated" timestamp at the top shows when data was last refreshed. For the most current price on a specific product, click "Get Quote" to contact us directly.

What payment terms do you accept? +

Standard payment terms: 100% irrevocable LC at sight (Usance LC negotiable for long-term customers). T/T: 30% advance + 70% against copy of BL, available for orders under 100MT. D/P at sight and D/A (30-60 days) available upon credit approval. We accept USD, EUR, and RMB settlement.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)? +

Standard MOQ is 25 metric tons (1×20ft GP container). For galvanized coils and PPGI, we can accommodate trial orders from 5-10 MT subject to product availability (small-order surcharge may apply). For stainless steel, MOQ is typically 5MT per grade/size. Mixed container loading is available for multiple specifications.

Can you provide CIF or CFR prices to my port? +

Yes! We regularly ship CIF/CFR to ports across Southeast Asia, Middle East, Africa, South America, and Europe. Please provide your port of discharge and we'll add ocean freight + insurance to the FOB price. Popular routes: CIF Manila, CIF Lagos, CIF Jeddah, CIF Dar es Salaam, CIF Lima, CIF Ho Chi Minh, CIF Colombo. Typical transit time: 7-35 days depending on destination.

What factors affect steel prices? +

Key factors include: (1) Iron ore and coking coal prices — raw material costs account for ~60% of steel price; (2) China production policies — capacity cuts, environmental restrictions; (3) Global demand — construction, automotive, infrastructure spending; (4) Exchange rates — USD/CNY movements; (5) Freight costs — container shipping rates; (6) Seasonal patterns — typically stronger Q1 and Q3 demand in China. Coating weight, base metal thickness, and surface quality also affect final product pricing.
