Commodity structure of import of ferrous metals

Having calculated commodity structure of import 72 HS groups in specification on 4-unit codes, we found, that more than a quarter of the value of assumed of iron or non-alloy steel rolling, yet 18% of rental already corrosion resistant and 14% ferro-alloys based on iron and manganese, chromium and other metals.

Distribution of import of ferrous metals over the countries of departure

In spite of poor political situation, Ukraine remains the main supplier of iron to Russia, providing 26% of import. It is followed by China with almost twice smaller volume, Korea has only 7% of  the volume. European suppliers in Germany and Belgium have 5% and 7%, respectively. India, one of the leading players in the world metallurgical market has only 3% in the Russian import of black metal. We remember, about tens years ago Russian Severstal company lost to the Indian Mittal in fight for the French Arselor company.
