Does the chemical assay determine the final price per ton for Potash?

Yes, the chemical assay defines the purity of the Potash. Buyers pay based on the percentage of potassium oxide present in the shipment. A lower assay means less usable product per ton, which lowers the price. The mill test certificate records this assay value so the buyer knows exactly what they are paying for.

What radiation screening rules apply to Ores and Minerals leaving Germany?

German customs and the destination country both screen for natural background radiation in ore shipments. Some ores contain trace radioactive elements that trigger alarms at ports. The seller must provide a certificate proving the radiation levels are within safe limits. Without this proof, the container will be rejected or returned.

How does the stowage factor change the container choice for Barite Ore?

Barite Ore has a very high density, so it fills the container by weight long before it fills by volume. A standard container will reach its weight limit while still empty. This forces the buyer to use break-bulk shipping or specialized heavy-lift containers. The stowage factor dictates this physical constraint.

What is the difference between lump size and powder mesh for Fluorspar?

Lump size refers to the physical chunks of Fluorspar, which are used in steel manufacturing. Powder mesh refers to the fineness of the ground material, used in chemical applications. A listing must specify which form is being sold because the price and end-use are completely different. Mixing them up causes processing failures.

Why does the mineral export licence matter before booking space?

Germany requires a mineral export licence for certain ores and minerals. The shipping line will not accept a booking without this licence number on the documentation. If the seller cannot produce the licence, the cargo cannot legally leave the country. This creates a hard stop before any freight costs are incurred.

What scrap contamination issues block Sulphur from entering some markets?

Some Sulphur shipments are contaminated with foreign metal scraps or other industrial debris. Destination customs screen for this scrap contamination to prevent damage to processing machinery. The mill test certificate must confirm the purity level. If the contamination exceeds the allowed threshold, the entire shipment is refused at the port.

How long does a quote for Copper Ore stay valid?

Quotes for Copper Ore are tied to a live commodity index. They usually remain valid for only a few days, not weeks. If the index moves significantly during that window, the price changes. Buyers must confirm the order quickly to lock in the quoted rate before it expires.
