For Suppliers — United States & Canada
Mills, converters, printers and packers. Alongside standard ISRI grades we buy stock lots and off-grade material — the tonnage that sits in the warehouse because it does not fit a grade table.
01 — What we buy
We are the export outlet, not a broker passing your material to another broker. If it ships to Asia, we place it ourselves.
OCC, DSOCC, SOP, SWL and mixed paper grades, baled and ready for container loading. Regular monthly tonnage and one-off accumulations both considered.
Market pulp held long, cancelled orders, and positions a mill or converter needs to clear. Bales or units, named mill where known.
Surplus reels, sheets and discontinued runs. Irregular sizes and mixed contents are not a problem — they are the norm for this line. Photographs are usually enough to start.
Moisture, shade, basis weight, wrapper damage, failed QC. Material a mill buyer has refused on specification frequently still has a home in Asia. Tell us what the defect is — we do not need it hidden.
02 — Area & terms
Material ships from the major port nearest to it, which is usually what makes a marginal lot workable.
| Area | United States and Canada |
|---|---|
| Volume | Container loads upward. Mixed and part lots considered. |
| Condition | Baled, on pallets, in reels or loose — stated as it actually is |
| Loading | From the nearest of 14 major ports: Oakland · Los Angeles · Long Beach · Seattle · Tacoma · Portland · Vancouver BC · New York / New Jersey · Savannah · Charleston · Norfolk · Houston · New Orleans · Mobile |
| Terms | Ex works your facility, or delivered to port — agreed case by case |
| Payment | T/T basis. Other terms negotiable. |
An offer built on an optimistic description falls apart at the discharge port, and the claim comes back to you. We would rather quote a lower number on an accurate description and have the shipment close cleanly.
03 — Process
Most stock lot and off-grade offers are settled on photographs and a specification sheet. Inspection is arranged where the volume or the uncertainty warrants it.
04 — Before you write
These five turn an inquiry into a firm number, usually within the same week.
ISRI grade, pulp grade, or a plain description for stock lots and off grade.
Weight in metric tons, and whether it is baled, palletised, in reels or loose.
A few of the actual lot. For off grade, show the defect.
City and state or province — this decides the loading port and the freight.
When it needs to move, and whether more is coming behind it.
Company name and the person handling the material.
Contact
That is enough to tell you whether we are interested and roughly where the number lands. Offers from suppliers are handled by the same desk that sells the material in Asia.
