PRICING NOTICE: Proposal to amend specification of eastern China CRC price

Fastmarkets is proposing an amendment to the specification of its assessment for steel cold-rolled coil domestic, delivered Eastern China domestic to including DC01 products.

Steel cold-rolled coil domestic, delivered Eastern China domestic, yuan/tonne
Quality:
SPCC/DC01, width 1,000-1,250mm, thickness 1-1.2mm
Quantity: 10-200 tonnes
Location: Ex-warehouse Shanghai
Timing: Spot

Unit: RMB/tonne
Payment terms: Prompt payment upon delivery
Publication: Every Friday, 5-6pm Shanghai time
Notes: Inclusive of 13% VAT

The one-month consultation for this proposed amendment will end on Sunday September 20, with changes taking place – subject to market feedback – beginning September 21.

To provide feedback on this assessment, or if you would like to provide price information by becoming a data submitter to this price assessment, please contact Paul Lim and Miranda Song by email at pricing@fastmarkets.com.
