China Steel Network connects international buyers with steel suppliers from China — mills, stockholders and processors of special steel, plate, pipe, coil and structural steel.
How buying works here
- Search and compare. Browse products by grade and specification, or search by keyword, standard (ASTM, DIN, EN, JIS, GB) or brand.
- Send an inquiry. Every product page has an inquiry form. State the grade, size range, quantity, target price and destination port.
- Collect quotations. Suppliers reply with price, lead time, payment terms and certification (for example EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates).
- Compare and confirm. Check the supplier's profile, product range and history before confirming an order. For large orders, ask for a mill test certificate and a pre-shipment inspection.

Buying tips
- Ask for the exact grade and standard in writing — trade names vary between countries.
- Confirm the Incoterms, port of loading, packing (seaworthy export packing) and lead time before paying a deposit.
- For tool steel and mould steel, confirm heat treatment condition, hardness and surface condition.
