Cold Drawn Wire Importers Must Read: 3 Tips to Avoid Pitfalls
As a crucial material in the global construction, agriculture, and industrial fields, the quality of cold-drawn wire is directly related to the performance and safety of the final product. However, many importers encounter traps during the procurement process due to a lack of experience, resulting in increased costs or project delays. As a professional wire mesh manufacturer in Hebei, China, Wanzhi Steel, with extensive export experience, shares three key tips to help you avoid pitfalls and complete your procurement efficiently.

Tip 1: Strictly verify supplier qualifications to avoid quality risks
Common pitfalls: Some suppliers provide false certifications or exaggerate production capabilities, resulting in delivery delays or substandard products.
Solution:
(1) Inspection and certification: Require suppliers to provide international certifications such as ISO 9001, SGS, CE, etc., and verify authenticity through official channels.
(2) Field inspection: Give priority to suppliers who have accepted factory inspections to confirm their production equipment, technical team, and quality control processes.
(3) Reference case: This is a case of cold-drawn spring wire we shipped to Bhutan.
Wanzhi Steel Tip: We have complete international certifications and 10+ years of export experience, supporting customers’ factory inspections and quality inspections to ensure that each roll of cold-drawn wire meets ASTM, BS, and other standards.
Tip 2: Clarify technical parameters and packaging requirements to reduce disputes
(1) Refine parameters: clarify key indicators such as diameter tolerance (such as ±0.02mm), tensile strength (such as above 1450MPa), zinc layer weight (such as 60g/m²).
(2) Customized packaging: according to the transportation distance, anti-rust treatment (such as oiling or VCI film), packaging method (pallet or roll packaging) and labeling specifications are required.
(3) Sample confirmation: require samples to be sent first and retain sealed samples as the acceptance standard for bulk goods.
Wanzhi Steel Advantages: We provide free sample services and are equipped with a professional foreign trade team to assist you in formulating accurate technical agreements to avoid communication errors.

Tip 3: Optimize logistics and payment terms to control overall costs
Common pitfalls: Hidden logistics fees, exchange rate fluctuations, or payment risks leading to overspending on procurement costs.
Solution:
(1) Choose trade terms: Choose FOB (suitable for small and medium-sized orders) or CIF (suitable for stable bulk purchases) according to the purchase volume, and clarify the division of responsibilities.
(2) Lock the exchange rate: Avoid exchange rate risks through forward settlement or RMB settlement.
(3) Installment payment: Use 30% deposit + 70% payment upon bill of lading to balance the risks of both parties.
