    China import compliance — CCIC and AQSIQ rules

    Copper scrap into China follows the 'recycled copper raw material' standard (GB/T 38470). All shipments must be pre-shipment inspected by CCIC (China Certification & Inspection Group) at the load port. Nautica arranges the CCIC booking, sample preparation and report issuance before B/L release. Material that does not meet the recycled copper raw material spec is not loaded.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Copper buyer resources and related grades

    Procurement teams sourcing from our European copper scrap supplier typically cross-reference live pricing on the copper scrap price index and compare grade economics in our copper scrap grades explained before committing tonnage. Refiners buying cathode-quality material work directly with our copper cathode supplier, while rod-plant buyers prefer Millberry copper exporter and copper wire scrap exporter.

    Mixed and heavy copper buyers should review Birch and Cliff copper scrap alongside the ISRI scrap grades guide for ISRI tolerance verification and the scrap metal inspection guide for SGS, BV and CCIC pre-shipment procedures applied at our Rotterdam yard.

    Rod and granule buyers pairing insulated feedstock with bare-bright loads frequently combine our Candy copper scrap and copper Chops scrap within the same 20-ft container to hit target chemistry at the melt.

    For commercial enquiries connect with our dedicated copper millberry supplier, our copper wire scrap exporter desk, our copper scrap supplier in the Netherlands office, or contact our sales team directly to discuss tonnage, LME-linked pricing and shipment scheduling.
