Structural steel sourcing from China — beams, channels, plate, tender-ready
H/I beams, channels, angles and plate in S235/S355 and Q235/Q355 — with mill test certificates and dimensional inspection, ready for tender documentation.
Structural steel — the hot-rolled sections and plate that carry load in buildings, frames and infrastructure — is sourced on grade, dimension and documentation, because a fabricator or a tender will reject anything that does not match. We source beams, channels, angles, flats and plate in European (S235/S355) and Chinese (Q235/Q355) grades from verified mills.
The risks are a grade that does not meet yield, sections out of dimensional tolerance, or paperwork a project engineer will not accept. We confirm the producer, verify the mill test certificate against the heat number, and inspect section dimensions and length against standard before shipment — so the steel clears both the site and the tender file.

- Section dimensions and web/flange thickness checked vs. standard
- Length and straightness confirmed
- Surface and edge condition inspected
- Marking and heat traceability verified for tender files

Frequently asked questions
Can you supply EN 10204 3.1 certificates?
Yes — where your tender or engineer requires 3.1 certification we source from mills that issue it and verify it against the heat number before shipment.
Do you supply European or Chinese grades?
Both — S235JR/S355J2 and Q235B/Q355B, matched to your design code. We confirm the grade equivalence and the certificate.
Can sections be cut to length?
Yes — standard 6 m and 12 m lengths, or cut to your drawing list, with the cut sizes inspected before shipment.
The risks of sourcing from China — and how we remove them
Every importer faces the same handful of failure points. Here's what each one is, and what we do about it.
01Paying a trader's hidden markup
We verify the supplier is the actual manufacturer and show the factory price separately from our fee, so you never overpay a middleman.
02A 'factory' that turns out to be a shell company
We check business licenses, capacity and history, and visit the site in person before you commit a single payment.
03Losing the deposit to fraud
Funds go to Silk Way Sourcing under one contract, not to an unknown account, and the balance is tied to an inspection you approve.
04Receiving goods that don't match the sample
An independent pre-shipment inspection checks quantity, dimensions and quality against your spec, with a photo report, before anything ships.
05Goods stuck at customs over paperwork
We prepare and handle export and customs documentation end to end, so shipments clear without costly holds.
What importers say after working with us
Sourcing wins across steel, solar, energy storage, construction materials and supplier verification. Client names are withheld for confidentiality.
- Steel & metals
We needed 200 tonnes of hot-rolled coil and kept getting quotes from traders. Silk Way took us straight to the mill, verified it, and inspected the load before we paid the balance.
