Hot-rolled and cold-rolled coil, galvanized sheet, rebar, section steel, pipe and plate — rolled to GB, EN, ASTM or JIS. Every lot ships with a 3.1 mill test certificate, third-party inspection and loading photos.
We quote the grade, the mill, the tolerance and the sailing in the same message. If a size is not listed, send the drawing — most profiles are rolled to order in 15–30 days.
Black, pickled or oiled. For pipe mills, cold rolling, structures and general fabrication.
Skin-passed cold coil, hot-dip zinc coated sheet and prepainted coil in RAL colours.
Threaded reinforcement bar with mill-rolled rib pattern, cut to 6 m or 12 m, bundled and tagged.
H-beam, I-beam, angle, channel and flat bar for steel structures, warehouses and bridges.
Line pipe, casing and structural tube, plain or with 3LPE / 3PP coating on request.
Carbon structural plate, weathering plate and ship plate, cut to size or supplied as rolled.
A buyer in Jebel Ali asks for A36; the mill in Tangshan casts Q235B; the inspector reads EN 10025. We translate between them before the contract, not after the claim.
| Application | GB/T · China | EN · Europe | ASTM · US | JIS · Japan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General structure | Q235B | S235JR | A36 | SS400 |
| High-strength structure | Q355B | S355JR | A572 Gr.50 | SM490 |
| Reinforcement bar | HRB400E | B500B | A615 Gr.60 | SD390 |
| Weathering steel | Q355NH | S355J2W | A588 Gr.A | SMA490AW |
| Galvanized sheet | DX51D+Z | DX51D+Z | A653 CS Type B | SGCC |
Cross-references are indicative. Chemistry, mechanicals and tolerances are those printed on the mill test certificate for your specific heat number — we send the certificate draft for approval before production.
Buyers do not lose money on the price of steel. They lose it on a lot that cannot be traced, a certificate that does not match the bundle, or a load that arrives three weeks late.
Issued and signed by the rolling mill, not by the trading company. Chemistry, tensile, yield, elongation and impact values are all on the sheet.
SGS, BV or CCIC, arranged on your instruction before the truck leaves the yard. Dimension, surface and marking checks against the contract.
Stowage plan, bundle tags and container seal numbers photographed and sent the same day, so your customs broker sees what you see.
Invoice, packing list, B/L, certificate of origin, insurance and MTC — issued as a single set, checked against the letter of credit before presentation.
From first email to discharge, every stage has a document and a named person on our side. No stage starts until the previous one is signed off.
Grade, size, quantity and destination port. A drawing, a photo of the current stock or a competitor's offer all work as a starting point.
FOB, CFR or CIF on one sheet: mill name, tolerance, coil weight, payment terms and how long the price holds.
Proforma invoice signed, 30% T/T deposit or L/C at sight opened, mill slot booked and a production date written into the contract.
Third-party inspector at the mill. Certificate, dimensions and surface reviewed; you approve the release before the trucks move.
Container stuffing or breakbulk stowage, then B/L, certificate of origin, packing list and insurance issued within two working days of sailing.
Discharge advice, customs paperwork and a named contact for the 90-day claim window. If something is wrong, we answer with a survey, not a silence.
Steel is heavy before it is bulky. These are the net loads we book in practice, and the sailings we use most out of Hong Kong.
| Product | 20' GP | 40' HQ |
|---|---|---|
| HRC / CRC coil | 22–25 | 25–27 |
| Galvanized sheet | 23–25 | 25–27 |
| Rebar, 6 m | 25–27 | 26–27 |
| Section steel, 6 m | 18–22 | 22–25 |
| Seamless pipe, 6 m | 20–24 | 24–26 |
| Plate | 25 | 26 |
Road limits at destination and port weight rules take priority over these figures. 12 m rebar and plate longer than 12 m ship breakbulk.
Indicative transit times for direct calls. Transshipment adds 7–12 days; we confirm the actual sailing with the booking.
Anything not covered here, ask directly — the answer usually takes one email, not a meeting.
A costed quotation usually comes back the same working day — with the mill name, the tolerance and the next sailing that can take your tonnage.
