Ultra Light Gauge Galvanized Foreign Offers: More Information
Written by John Packard
Steel Market Update had a couple of questions arise concerning our article about ultra light gauge galvanized (lighter than .015”) in Sunday evening’s Steel Market Update newsletter. In that article we referenced prices being offered as between $39.50/cwt-$41.50/cwt CIF, Duty Paid, USA Port (coating weight is G30 which we did not do a good job of identifying in our Sunday evening article).
One must remember a number of items when comparing price offers. Two of the biggest are going to be the thickness with thinner material costing more than product purchased closer to the .015” thickness. The second item needed to consider is volume. Then we have the relationship between the buyer and seller as well as timing.
