Tin scrap.

## What we accept

Tin scrap. Material is weighed and graded on arrival at our yard in Mina Abdallah.

## Small volumes, same process

Tin usually arrives in smaller quantities than the other non-ferrous grades. It is weighed, a ticket is issued and it is graded on the same basis regardless of size.

## Assessed on inspection

Because form and purity vary widely, tin is assessed against the material itself rather than quoted from a list.

## Tin rarely arrives alone

Most tin comes in as solder, babbitt, pewter or a tin bearing alloy rather than as pure tin. What it is alloyed with decides the grade, so loads are assessed on composition.

## Tinplate is not tin

Tin coated steel sheet is ferrous and is graded as steel. The coating is too thin to recover, so tinplate is weighed as sheet.

## From the yard to the port

Five stages, handled by us, in the order they happen.

### 01 Grading and preparation

Material is sorted and graded, then cut, sheared or baled to the size the buyer specifies.

### 02 Weighing

Every load is weighed and a weight ticket is issued against it, recording gross, tare and net.

### 03 Inspection

A lot may be inspected at the yard by arrangement. Photographs and weights of a specific lot are provided on request.

### 04 Container loading

Sorted material is loaded to container at the yard, grade by grade rather than mixed.

### 05 Documentation and shipment

Paperwork is handled from the yard through to the port, and the shipment leaves through Shuaiba or Shuwaikh.
