What to watch

Steel products, non-ferrous metals, ores and industrial minerals ship in containers, as breakbulk or in bulk depending on form and weight. Weight distribution and securing are the main operational concerns.

Steel coils need cradles and lashing; container weight limits apply, so 20' units are common for heavy cargo.

Scrap and some concentrates have import restrictions or inspection requirements in several destination countries.

Anti-dumping and safeguard duties on steel can change landed cost significantly; check at the destination.
