China Customs reported that China’s tin ore and concentrate imports in April fell 73.1% MoM and 16.4% YoY to 3,166 mt.

SHANGHAI, May 29 (SMM) – China Customs reported that China’s tin ore and concentrate imports in April fell 73.1% MoM and 16.4% YoY to 3,166 mt, but the imports for the first four months surged 212.3% to 35,801 mt.

 
The sharp decline in April’s imports was mainly compared with the soaring import volume in March.
 
China’s tin mine consolidation and lower grade for domestic tin ore drove up demand for imported ore, causing tin ore imports to surge in through the first four months. Given the growth spurt in January and March, import for the first four months staged an over two-fold increase.
