Physical Commodities

Verified Grades.
Documented Origin.

Every commodity we facilitate has a traceable supply chain, a certified specification, and an independent inspection protocol. We publish full grade parameters so counterparties can verify compatibility before initiating contact.

01 — Industrial Metals

Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Scrap

Stratos facilitates verified consignments of post-consumer and industrial-grade metallic scrap. All grades are sourced from ISRI-code compliant processors and submitted for pre-shipment inspection by SGS S.A. or Bureau Veritas prior to vessel loading. Radiation clearance certificates are provided as standard on all metallic shipments.

ISRI Code 200/201

HMS 1 & 2 — Heavy Melting Steel Scrap

Heavy melting scrap is the benchmark ferrous grade for electric arc furnace and induction furnace operations. HMS 1 consists of wrought iron and/or steel scrap, ½ inch and over in thickness; HMS 2 includes thinner-gauge material. Supplied as a blended 80/20 (HMS1/HMS2) ratio unless otherwise specified in the SPA.

Inspection Standard: All metallic scrap consignments are inspected for weight, composition, and radioactivity by SGS S.A. or Bureau Veritas at the loading port prior to vessel departure. A valid Radiation Clearance Certificate is a mandatory shipping document on all metal transactions.

02 — Agricultural Bulk

Grains, Sugar & Soft Commodities

We coordinate bulk shipments of food-grade and industrial agricultural commodities with origin-country phytosanitary compliance, fumigation certification, and SGS/Bureau Veritas weight and quality verification. Non-GMO status is verifiable through IP (Identity Preserved) chain-of-custody documentation where specified.
