Melt & Pour – Origin of the steel

European sanctions against Russia also cover steel processed in other countries. At customs you may need to show where the steel was melted and poured: we provide the declaration that states it.

Reg. (EU) 833/2014, art. 3gApplies to: Steel wire and steel products, where required
In short
  • EU sanctions ban the import of steel products made from steel of Russian origin, even when processed in a third country.
  • That is why customs may ask for proof of the country where the steel was melted and poured: the so-called "melt and pour".
  • The proof is based on the steel mill data and the heat number of the material.
What you receive
  • Melt & Pour declaration with steel mill and heat number
  • EN 10204 type 3.1 material certificates

Our support

Origin declaration

We state the country of melting and pouring, the steel mill and the heat number of the steel used.

For steel wire

We handle it for steel wire and, where required, for each individual shipment.

Consistent with the certificates

The data is consistent with the 3.1 material certificates, which carry the same heat number.

Ready for customs

The declaration travels with the order documentation, ready to present if customs asks for it.

The documents and information we provide support distributors in their obligations; responsibility for import compliance remains with the importer.
