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.

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.
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.
Add the quantity in metric tonnes, destination country and port, and your preferred shipping terms.
