ok this sounds interesting... what for? Can I ask?
Purely and simply a trading transaction.The contact in Pakistan wants between 10,000 and 20,000 tonnes of scrap metal per month, however the scrap, needs to be 'decent'. We would also need a quality control, to ensure no crap is thrown in the containers to make up weight. Items such as cars etc are put through an industrial cycle and the rust and paint etc are removed, the resultant srap is small pieces of rounded metal. I would also require knowledge of companies that do this if I can source raw scrap too.
One of my partners has already sourced someone for purchasing, so we will have someone on the road shortly, but If anyone knows of a direct route, it would be useful, as I think we'll stuggle to source so much, but there's potentially much more available if we can handle what he wants.

I can't work out that email address.Company in Rotherham, specialises in the sale/movement of scrap (usually copper/brass/Alu) from all over the world esp. Pakistan and North Africa. I think they simply buy and sell but obviously arrange the shipping etc. They have been in the business 30 years in various guises. Loads of paperwork to ensure import/export regs are complied with etc. and the rules on seling to 'dodgy' countries are compliedwith as some scrap contains items which could be used for weapons etc. Contamination like rubber on copper or chemicals can be a problem.
Margin on scrap is about 3-4%, so currency fluctataions could kill you. Also volatile metal markets: buyers will back out if the price falls during delivery, knowing you won't sue for breach of contract across international boundaries and you get stuck with tonnes of metal that is over priced. You also need the cash up friont a sthe market deals in notes of intent/deposit from the major world banks
Not simple and not for the first timer!
