PriceMar 17, 2026 14:14Dear Users: To ensure the consistency of data with the source and respond to customer feedback, we have expanded the unit of copper-related import and export data in the non-ferrous metals database to the smallest level. Core change: Units such as "10,000 mt" and "mt" have been changed to "kg". The specific matters are hereby announced as follows: I. Reasons for Adjustment Due to the need for country-specific breakdown of imports and exports, the unit has been adjusted to the smallest value To better serve customers, SMM has expanded the important copper-related import and export data to include all countries, which has made it impossible for the previously set units of "mt" and "10,000 mt" to match the data from all countries. Therefore, SMM has changed the unit to the smallest value. II. Adjustment Content III. Effective Date of Adjustment This adjustment will take effect on August 5, 2025 SMM August 1, 2025
