Grade definition — 200-series + 203-series (blend)

The blend has no separate code. It combines No. 1 heavy melting steel (ISRI 200–202) and No. 2 heavy melting steel (ISRI 203–206) in a ratio agreed in the contract, commonly 80:20.

Estimated loading quantities — subject to the material's packing density, the actual container payload and applicable transport weight limits.

Inspection and quality verification

Grade, weight and contamination are checked before loading by visual inspection. Where the contract specifies it, an independent pre-shipment inspection (for example by SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek) and laboratory analysis — electrolytic assay for copper, XRF/OES analysis for alloys — can be agreed. Loading photographs and weighbridge tickets are normally part of the shipping documents. The inspection agency, sampling method and acceptance criteria are fixed in the contract.

Import compliance

Imports of metal scrap are regulated in many countries (import licences, pre-shipment inspection certificates, radiation checks). Buyers are responsible for confirming that the grade may be imported at the destination before contracting.
