How does the silica content on an Iron Ore row change the grade and price?

Silica acts as an impurity in the blast furnace, requiring more flux to remove. A listing with lower silica content commands a premium because it reduces the processing cost for the steel mill. Buyers must compare the silica percentage directly on the row, as two lots with the same iron grade can have very different net values based on their gangue content.

What documentation proves the Iron Ore is not contaminated scrap?

You need a mill test certificate that explicitly states the material is virgin ore. Destination customs and radiation screening teams look for this proof to ensure the shipment does not contain radioactive scrap or recycled metal. Without this certificate, the cargo may be rejected or subjected to costly and time-consuming decontamination procedures at the port.

Why does a quote for Iron Ore expire so much faster than other bulk goods?

The price is tied directly to a live market index that changes by the minute. Sellers cannot hold a fixed price for weeks because the underlying commodity value shifts rapidly. If you do not confirm the order and secure the vessel space within the short window stated in the quote, the price becomes invalid and you must request a new one.

Does the moisture level on the listing affect how much you actually pay for?

Yes, moisture reduces the net weight of the iron content in each ton shipped. Sellers often quote on a dry basis, but the cargo arrives with water weight. You must check if the price is adjusted for moisture content, as paying for water means you are not getting the promised amount of usable material in the hold.

What separates a row for lump from one for fines on this page?

The physical form and size distribution are the key differences. Lump ore consists of larger pieces suitable for direct charging, while fines are smaller particles that may require agglomeration. The listing will specify the size range, and this determines the handling equipment needed at your destination and the potential for dust loss during transit.

Who pays for the mineral export licence when shipping from the United States?

The responsibility for obtaining the licence usually falls on the seller, as they are the exporter of record. However, the cost of compliance and the administrative delay can be factored into the final price. Buyers should confirm in the enquiry who bears the burden of securing this specific government authorization before the cargo is loaded.

How does the stowage factor change the shipping cost for Iron Ore?

The stowage factor determines whether the vessel fills by weight or volume. Iron Ore is dense, so it often hits the weight limit before the hold is full. This means you pay for the weight capacity, and if the density is lower than expected, you might be paying for unused volume space that could have been sold to another shipper.
