How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Pure Copper Scrap had 63 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 44 the month before. That means a buyer can find updated terms or packaging options that were not available earlier. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers with similar specs.
Is the market busy?
Only 1 of the 112 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so the pool is mostly made up of long-standing sellers. Most suppliers have a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. The small number of new entries limits the diversity of sourcing options. Review each supplier's listing history before contacting them.

| Market | Demand | Supply | Offers/req |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global | 376 requests | 674 products | 1.8 |
| India | 133 requests | 674 products | 5.1 |
| European Union | 33 requests | 674 products | 20.4 |
| ASEAN | 31 requests | 674 products | 21.7 |
| Middle East & North Africa | 31 requests | 674 products | 21.7 |
Worldwide, 674 listings meet 376 buyer requests - 1.8 listings per request, so buyers have choice and suppliers compete. India sends 133 of those requests (35.4%), and there the same 674 listings make 5.1 listings per request. With more listings than requests, a supplier needs a sharp price or terms to win each request. Quote the global or India figure to match your market - the two are not interchangeable.
CIF is the clearest mismatch: more than half of buyer requests (54.5%) ask for it, against 45% of listings (404 demand vs 1535 supply observations). A supplier able to quote CIF stands out.

L/C is the widest payment gap: 38.5% of buyer requests ask for it, but only 12.8% of listings accept it (387 demand vs 1916 supply observations). Suppliers that accept L/C stand out. Most listings still expect T/T (35.8%).

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Pure Copper Scrap listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 27 October 2026 - 1,107 active listings, 239 buyer requests, 674 source documents, and 6,033 supply observations from the same 365-day window. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Pure Copper Scrap type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Pure Copper Scrap, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.

A reference for every category: what the usual trade and payment terms mean, and the points to check when you compare quotations.
| Term | Type | Meaning |

| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |

Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
