TTC Global — Transparent Trade Chain

Minerals and metals

Steel, non-ferrous metals and industrial minerals with mill or inspection documentation.

Metal and mineral RFQs are quoted against a standard, size range, chemistry and the test certificates the contract will require.

Mill test certificates, third-party inspection and origin documents are treated as baseline requirements, not extras.

Product families typically inquired

Families listed under each industry describe the types of RFQs TTC handles. Availability, origin, grade and volume are confirmed per inquiry after screening. They are not a stock list.

What belongs in a metals RFQ

  • Named standard, size or chemistry (not only a product nickname)
  • Quantity, packing and delivery window
  • Destination and Incoterm with a named place
  • Whether mill test certificates, inspection, or both are required
  • Origin constraints if they affect eligibility

Quality and inspection

Mill test certificates speak to heat or lot chemistry. A surveyor can confirm quantity, packing and sometimes sampling. The contract should say which document binds quality if they disagree.

Documents often coordinated

  • Commercial invoice and packing list
  • Certificate of origin
  • Mill test certificate or equivalent report
  • Inspection report where required

If you have a specification, send the RFQ.

A complete inquiry can be reviewed and quoted. There is no public price list and submitting an RFQ does not create an obligation.
