Hot rolled coil is the base flat product for pipes, profiles, cold rolled sheet and general fabrication. China is the largest exporter and sets the Asian reference through the SS400 3 mm FOB Tianjin assessment, with Indian and Turkish mills offering against it into the Gulf and Africa. Buyers are re-rollers, pipe and tube makers, service centres and stockists. The price moves with Chinese domestic futures, iron ore and coking coal, steel inventories and trade defence measures in importing countries. This listing covers 3 to 4.5 mm; thinner and heavier gauges from 2 to 12 mm are available on request under their own HS lines. We offer it FOB the Chinese or Indian port or CFR Jebel Ali, as spot cargoes or monthly term shipments.
