What these tools cover

Free, no account needed. Figures are for estimation — settlement terms follow your contract.

Trade Calc3 tools

Conversions and cost math for cross-border trade: units, currencies, landed cost. Mismatched units are the most common source of quotation disputes — a metric ton and a short ton differ by 10%, a troy ounce and an avoirdupois ounce by 9.7%.

Settlement6 tools

The settlement step — pricing material by grade, weight and recovery: scrap valuation, concentrate TC/RC deductions, conductor content in cable, dismantling yields. Standard industry math, but the formulas usually live buried in individual contracts.

Reference3 tools

Look-up references: HS commodity codes and import compliance, copper and aluminium alloy grades, metal densities, shipment tracking.
