International Trade Administration Act, 2002 (Act No. 71 of 2002)NoticesAmended Export Control Guidelines on the Exportation of Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Waste and Scrap4. Price Preference Calculation |
| 4.1 | The price preference at which scrap metal must be offered for sale to the domestic scrap consuming industry will be calculated as described below. |
| 4.2 | Price preference calculations for scrap metal will be done by ITAC for all the different types of scrap metal listed in paragraph 3 (and the various grades thereof as the case may be) using, in general but not exclusively, ScrapIndex.com as an international benchmark price. From the average price achieved during the previous day, week, two weeks, month, or quarter, where applicable, for the different types and grades of scrap metal, an amount of 30% will be deducted to reflect the price at which ferrous scrap metal must be offered for sale to the domestic consuming industry, and an amount of 25% will be deducted to reflect the price at which aluminium scrap metal must be offered for sale to the domestic consuming industry, and an amount of 20% will be deducted to reflect the price at which all other scrap metal must be offered for sale to the domestic consuming industry. |
Scrap metal ISRI grades that are non-specific as to scrap metal content specification and where it is recommended in the ISRI Specifications, for example, that scrap metal be sold by analysis, sample, recovery basis or the like, and where a particular reference to minimum percentage content (for example copper scrap ISRI: Druid: Insulated Copper Wire Scrap) is not specified in the ISRI Specifications, a valid offer can be made at a minimum of 3% of the content of the metal in question (i.e. 3% copper content in the above-mentioned example). Should the content of the metal in question of a specific ISRI grade be more than 3%, a valid offer can be made on an analysis, sample or recovery basis less the relevant PPS percentage discount for the type of scrap metal in question.
[Section 4(4.2) paragraph inserted by section 2 of Notice No. 305, GG44593, dated 21 May 2021].
| 4.3 | Notwithstanding the above, the price preference price for red metal waste and scrap including copper, brass and bronze waste and scrap as listed here-under, will be calculated by using the London Metal Exchange index price (LME full price) as an international benchmark average price. From the average price achieved and based on the average exchange rate during the previous day, week, two weeks, month or quarter, where applicable, for the different types and grades of red metal waste and scrap, an amount of 10% will be deducted to reflect the price at which the different grades of red metal waste and scrap must be offered for sale to the domestic consuming industry. |
The method of calculation of the above-mentioned price preference prices for the different ISRI grades to be applied by ITAC as the formula is the calculation of the Rand value and 10% PPS discount against the percentage of the red scrap metal content as reflected in the column here-under.
Formula: LME convert to Rand x (percentage content – [less] 10%)
E.g. LME to Rand x 86% (Barley 96% - 10% = 86%)
E.g. R100 000 x 86% = R86 000

| 4.4 | When a valid offer is submitted in terms of the PPS and the scrap metal as reflected in the application is purchased in terms of the PPS by a local consumer, it must be transported and delivered to the consumer’s scrap metal processing premises, for the seller’s account. |
Transport may be arranged by the buyer, for the seller’s account, should the seller fail to arrange for transportation of the scrap metal in question. Parties may also agree to suitable transportation and delivery costs.
[Section 4(4.4) substituted by section 4 of Notice No. 305, GG44593, dated 21 May 2021].
| 4.5 | Notwithstanding the above, the price preference price for all ISRI grades of aluminium waste and scrap as listed here-under, will be calculated by using the London Metal Exchange high grade aluminium official cash price index as an international benchmark average price. From the average price achieved and based on the average exchange rate during the previous day, week, month or quarter, where applicable, for the percentages of different types and grades of aluminium waste and scrap, an amount of 25% will be deducted to reflect the price at which the different grades of aluminium waste and scrap must be offered for sale to the domestic consuming industry. |
The method of calculation of the above-mentioned price preference prices for the different ISRI grades to be applied by ITAC as the formula is the calculation of the Rand value and 25% PPS discount against the percentage of the aluminium scrap metal content as reflected in the column here-under.
Formula: LME convert to Rand x (percentage content – [less] 25%)
E.g. LME to Rand x 45% (Taint Tabor 70% - 25% = 45%)
E.g. R20 000 x 45% = R9 000
