For buyers & sellers: Navigate Iran’s export ban, Nigeria’s customs gridlock, and shifting import tariffs with a compare view of last week vs. this week. Download Report.

For Procurement Managers, This Report Helps You Solve:

How to fast‑track all Nigerian import orders now — legally and without demurrage — before the July 1 excise and green tax surge, while the National Single Window clearance is effectively stalled and demurrage charges pile up day by day.
How to secure billet and slab supply from China or India within days after Iran suddenly suspended steel sheet and slab exports, removing roughly 10 million tonnes per year of regional semi‑finished capacity, and whether a fixed‑price May‑June contract is the right move.
How to calculate true landed costs across multiple African ports when Egypt’s three‑year safeguard duties (13.6% on HRC, 13.12% on billet), South Africa’s 24.20% anti‑dumping duty on Chinese structural steel, and Morocco’s evolving HRC safeguard rates all hit the same shipment window — and which origin or product pivot offers the best net margin.

For Sales Managers, This Report Helps You Solve:

Whether Iran’s export ban has just handed you a pricing window for billet and HRC into Africa and the Gulf, and how to time your CFR quotes to African main ports while Chinese exporters fill the near‑term supply gap.
How to re‑route your structural steel export volumes away from South Africa’s 24.20% anti‑dumping wall — either by pivoting to Nigeria, Kenya, and other infrastructure‑driven markets, or by using third‑country transshipment through Turkey or India to keep a foothold in the SACU region.
How to turn the Mombasa congestion (average waiting time stuck at 4.6 days) and the Red Sea diversion (adding 10‑20 days) into a competitive service advantage by proactively quoting CFR Dar es Salaam, where waiting incidence has dropped from 84% to 64%, and by building that logistics reliability into your delivery promise to the customer.

The core value of this report:
This week’s decisive factor is no longer price alone — it is continuity of supply: Iran’s export ban and Nigeria’s customs crisis are redefining who gets steel, when they get it, and what the real landed cost ultimately becomes.

This weekly report includes a detailed week‑on‑week comparison of last week’s and this week’s data, covering FOB and CFR price changes, policy shifts, currency movements, port congestion updates, and mill maintenance impacts, so you can quantify the magnitude of weekly moves and spot trend inflection points.
