What does ICUMSA 45 mean?
ICUMSA is the analysis method of the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis. The number 45 indicates the maximum colour value of the sugar on the ICUMSA scale: no more than 45 units. ICUMSA 45 sugar is refined white sugar with a minimum polarisation of 99.80 degrees, and it is the grade most often specified in international white sugar contracts. Brazil is one of the main origins.
Do niobium and tantalite follow the same import rules?
No. Tantalite is a tantalum ore, one of the four minerals known as 3TG (tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold). Under Regulation (EU) 2017/821, in force since 1 January 2021, European Union importers of these minerals have a legal obligation to carry out supply chain due diligence following the OECD Guidance and to report their findings publicly. In the United States, Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act imposes disclosure obligations on SEC-registered companies. Niobium is not a 3TG mineral and is not subject to that regime.
Which payment instruments does Tongling Taolian use?
Tongling Taolian International Trade Co., Ltd. works with documentary letters of credit at sight (LC and DLC), standby letters of credit (SBLC) and escrow accounts. In every case the sequence is a signed contract and confirmed specification first, and the financial instrument afterwards, against the agreed documentation. Price and volume are set in the contract, not published on an open page.
Why does a lithium battery complicate an electric vehicle shipment?
Lithium-ion batteries are classified as Class 9 dangerous goods in international transport. That requires a dangerous goods declaration, approved packaging, specific marking and carrier acceptance, with rules that vary by transport mode and by carrier. Electric vehicle shipments arranged without that documentation are held at the port.
