1) Branch Office - Spanish-speaking support, customs clearance assistance, etc.
2) Over 5,000 tons of stock in stock, with a wide variety of sizes
3) Inspected by authoritative organizations such as CCIC, SGS, BV, and TUV, with standard seaworthy packaging
Basic Protection: Each bale is wrapped with tarpaulin, 2-3 desiccant packs are put in each bale, then bale is covered with heat sealed waterproof cloth.
Bundling: The strapping is 12-16mm Φ steel strap, 2-3 tons / bundle for lifting equipment in American port.
Conformance Labeling: Bilingual labels (English + Spanish) are applied with a clear indication of material, spec, HS code, batch and test report number.
For large size h-section steel cross-section height ≥ 800mm), the steel surface is coated with industrial anti-rust oil and dried, then packed with tarpaulin.
