Scrap Metal Sourcing from Selected African Markets
AceComex reviews opportunities from selected African markets where export permissions, documentation and loading arrangements can be demonstrated.
AceComex and selected African markets
Several African markets generate meaningful scrap volumes from industry, mining support activity, transport fleets and infrastructure renewal. Export rules vary widely between countries, and some markets restrict or prohibit the export of particular scrap categories.
AceComex approaches this region selectively. Offers are progressed only where the supplier can evidence authority to export, workable loading arrangements and the documentation the route requires. We do not maintain offices, warehouses or teams in these markets.
Where opportunities typically arise
- Ferrous arisings from industrial and transport sectors
- Copper and aluminium from electrical and infrastructure renewal
- Processed material from established local yards
- Non-ferrous from equipment dismantling operations
- Consolidated parcels from organised collectors
- Material with verifiable origin documentation
Practical considerations
- Export permissions, which differ significantly by country
- Port capability, container availability and inland haulage
- Verification of material against description before loading
- Payment and documentation structure agreed in advance
- Inspection access, including third-party inspection where warranted
- Realistic assessment of recurring availability
