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

Quality:
SPCC/DC01, width 1,000-1,250mm, thickness 1-1.2mm

Timing: Spot

Unit: RMB/tonne
Payment terms: Prompt payment upon delivery
Publication: Every Friday, 5-6pm Shanghai time

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.
