China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment has issued the tenth batch of metals scrap import quotas for 2020 on Monday, July 27, allowing an additional 3,970 tonnes of high-grade aluminium scrap to enter into China, according to Shanghai Metals Market report.

The latest batch of aluminium scrap import quotas is sharply down by 205,690 tonnes from the previous batch that had allowed 209,660 tonnes of additional high-grade aluminium scrap imports to China, the largest since April. In the seventh and eighth batches of quotas, the authorities had allowed 1,480 tonnes and 5,840 tonnes of additional scrap to enter China.
The ninth batch granted the most scrap metal import quotas since April, easing fears over a shortage of supply after the new system for bringing in high-quality scrap material failed to be implemented by the scheduled date.
With the latest expansion, the cumulative aluminium scrap import quotas for this year have reached 697,629 tonnes, according to Shanghai Metals Market.
