What is a landed cost in scrap trading?

Accepted Answer

Landed cost is the total price of scrap delivered to India, expressed in INR/kg. ScrapPulse builds it from the base market price, converts it to rupees, adjusts for the ISRI grade's purity and premium, then adds origin freight differentials, a stress buffer on USD/INR and import customs duty.

Copper (Berry, Birch/Cliff, Candy, Barley), brass (Honey, Ivory, Refinery Brass, Ebony), zinc die cast, aluminium (Tense, Taint/Tabor, Talon, Troma) and tin (Block, Babbitt) — priced against major global commodity markets for each base metal.
