How To Buy Calcium Metal From China

When it comes to calcium metal, a lot of people firstly think that it is a kind of industrial product or it appears in chemical lessons usually. In fact, frankly speaking, it also has many other uses. For example, in the steelmaking realm, it always appears in front of the world as an additive. As an additive, many steel industries use it. However, the form of calcium metal they used is disparate. Some of them added calcium metal in block form, whereas others added it in calcium cored wire form.

JINLI GROUP is one of leading ferroalloy manufacturers in China. JINLI GROUP supplies not only calcium metal lumps but also calcium metal cored wire, calcium metal wire and metallic calcium powder.

Asian Client for Calcium Metal

Background

At that moment, this Asian customer was looking for 20 MT calcium metal. And then, he found us on Google and get in touch with us via email. Our sales manager communicated with this customer in English, because he cannot speak Chinese. He has a Chinese friend that listened to an unprofessional supplier’s advice. Unfortunately, they readily believed this unprofessional supplier’s sweet words and persistently thought that calcium metal can be packed and transported in jumbo bags, changed product name and then transported by land.

Our professional team emphasized many times that metallic calcium can be only packed in iron drums filled with argon and transported without any other products. What’s more, a hazardous package certificate is required while transporting.

This Asian customers out of trust in their Chinese friends and declined the products and transportation solution our team provided.

Afterwards, several months later, this customers reported that calcium metal was not right. Now, customers are recommended to get in touch with their Chinese friends and that suppliers to coordinate follow-up matters.

European Client for Calcium Metal

Another case is about our European customer. Retrospecting that time, we can still remember this business details clearly. This customer wanted to purchase 1 MT metallic calcium with 0-0.5mm particle size. As we all known, metal calcium powder is a hazardous cargo. And if you want to transport it by small cabinet, it must be customized according to relevant hazardous goods regulations, otherwise, safety incidents take place probably. Our professional team reminded him many times, but he is stubborn. Afterwards, he got in touch with another supplier and changed the product name. Eventually, it is transported to the destination without any danger.

Apparently, this method is very dangerous, despite safety incidents do not take place. It can be said that it is very lucky without any safety incidents take place. He succeeded in purchasing metallic calcium through illegal means, at the same time, he took a great risk during this transaction. Here, we advocate not using this method severely.

Except for these, in my memory, other businesses we operated are processed safely and legally.
