We import bulk containerized shipments across four primary recyclable commodity sectors:

• Non-Ferrous Scrap: Aluminium (Tense, TT, 6063 profiles, Zorba), Copper (Millberry 99.9%, Berry, Birch/Cliff), and Yellow Brass (Honey, Ocean, Ebony).
• Paper & Pulp: Old Corrugated Cardboard (OCC #11, Select DSOCC #12 bales).
• Rubber & Polymers: Shredded tyre chips, Truck Bus Radial (TBR) 3-piece cuts, and compressed PCR tyre bales.
Our standard procurement is executed under 100% Irrevocable Letter of Credit (LC at Sight) issued by premier Indian nationalized and international banks. For established long-term partners, we also execute CAD (Cash Against Documents) or agreed advance Telegraphic Transfer (TT) deposits against verified shipping documents.
We regularly clear containerized cargo at India’s major maritime container gateways:
• Nhava Sheva (JNPT, Mumbai): Maharashtra & Western India industrial hub.
• Mundra Port (Gujarat): Fastest vessel turnarounds for Gujarat secondary smelters and Jamnagar brass mills.
• Chennai Port: Servicing South India automotive foundries and mills.
• Hazira Port: High-volume industrial ferrous & tyre discharge.
To ensure smooth Indian customs clearance under DGFT and Ministry of Steel guidelines, shipments require:
1. Bill of Lading (BL)
2. Commercial Invoice & Detailed Packing List (with container-wise weights)
3. Certificate of Origin (COO)
4. Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) from an approved inspection agency (for un-shredded metals)
5. Certificate of Radiation-Free Cargo and Non-Explosive declaration.
International scrap consolidators, yards, and recycling exporters can complete vendor registration in three simple steps:
1. Submit your scrapyard profile and available scrap specifications via our Vendor Registration Portal.
2. Our commercial desk will review your lot photo pack and issue a formal purchase offer / contract draft within 24 hours.
3. Upon price confirmation, an LC is opened and shipping instructions are dispatched.
Our typical procurement contract starts from trial shipments of 5 to 10 marine containers (approx. 100 to 250 MT), scaling up to monthly recurring supply contracts of 20 to 50+ containers per vendor.
