1. Prepare Your Information Before You Click "Submit"

Having the following details ready will significantly speed up the process:

Your Company Information: Name, location, and intended use for the steel.

Contact Details: A valid email and phone number for follow-up communication.

2. Provide Detailed Product Specifications

This is the most critical part. Ambiguity here leads to delays. Be sure to specify:

Material Grade: e.g., Q235, ASTM A36, DX51D, SPCC, etc.

Product Type: Hot rolled coil, cold rolled sheet, galvanized steel, etc.

Dimensions: Thickness, width, and length (or OD/ID for tubes and pipes).

Standard & Coating: Any specific international standard (e.g., ASTM, EN, JIS) and coating type/weight if applicable.

Quantity: The total weight (in metric tons) or number of pieces required.

3. Include Processing and Logistics Requirements

Inform the supplier of any additional services needed, as this affects the final price:

Processing: Do you require slitting, leveling, cutting-to-length, or blanking?

Surface Finish: Any specific requirements like pickled and oiled, or a particular surface treatment?

Packaging: Standard export packaging or special requests for delicate surfaces.

Destination Port: The final delivery location for accurate freight calculation.
