Technical Specifications

State-of-the-art Production Technology from Vietnam

Our structural profiles are manufactured utilizing elite European metallurgical technology, featuring fully automated hot-rolling mills engineered by Danieli (Italy) and SMS Group (Germany). These advanced production lines ensure exceptional metallurgical uniformity, ultra-precise dimensional tolerances, and superior flatness across all flanges and webs. Every production heat undergoes rigorous chemical and mechanical testing, including tensile strength, yield point, and Charpy V-notch impact testing to ensure safety in high-stress architectural and civil engineering projects.

As an forward-thinking Vietnam steel exporter, Efreso is committed to sustainability. Our manufacturing partners employ state-of-the-art energy-recovering blast furnaces and electric arc furnace (EAF) technologies that circulate thermal energy, drastically lowering the carbon footprint per ton of steel produced. Our structural profiles are fully CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) ready, allowing European, North American, and Australian buyers to meet strict corporate ESG mandates while future-proofing their supply chains against carbon import penalties.

Why Choose Efreso's Structural Profiles?

• Superior Structural Integrity: Engineered with high yield strength and excellent ductility, allowing for lighter structural designs without sacrificing structural safety or load-bearing limits.

• Unmatched Corrosion Protection: Available with premium Hot-Dip Galvanizing (HDG) to withstand harsh coastal, industrial, and offshore corrosive environments.

• Precision Geometry & Weldability: Excellent weldability with low carbon equivalents ($CEV$), minimizing pre-heating requirements and ensuring rapid, seamless on-site fabrication.

• Rigorous Quality Verification: Every shipment is accompanied by Mill Test Certificates (MTC) matching EN 10204 3.1 standards, ensuring full traceability from raw billet to finished profile.

1. Unmatched Tariff & Duty Savings

Leverage Vietnam’s extensive network of Free Trade Agreements. Efreso provides legal and verified Certificates of Origin (Form EUR.1, Form D, Form AJ, etc.), enabling global importers to access 0% or highly preferential import tariffs under the EVFTA (Europe), CPTPP (Americas/Pacific), UKVFTA (United Kingdom), and RCEP (Asia-Pacific).

2. High-Efficiency Deep-Sea Logistics

Our partner mills are strategically positioned close to Vietnam’s major deep-sea ports, including Hai Phong, Da Nang, and Cai Mep - Thi Vai. This proximity guarantees efficient inland drayage, lower domestic handling fees, and direct, cost-effective ocean freight routes to major international ports across Europe, North America, and Australia.

3. Mitigation of Anti-Dumping Trade Barriers

By utilizing 100% Vietnamese primary steel source material and processing it locally, our structural steel bypasses trade defense mechanisms and high anti-dumping duties targeted at other major Asian steel-producing nations. Secure a reliable, low-risk, and politically stable supply corridor.

Key Applications & Industries

Our premium structural profiles are the foundational backbone for critical global projects:

• Civil & Commercial Infrastructure: High-rise buildings, structural frameworks, airports, stadiums, and shopping centers.

• Industrial Plants & Warehouses: Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB), heavy-duty manufacturing facilities, and heavy equipment platforms.

• Energy & Power Infrastructure: Oil and gas platforms, power transmission towers, wind turbine substructures, and utility solar mounting structures.

• Transportation & Logistics: Rail wagon chassis, shipbuilding frames, bridge structures, highway safety barriers, and seaport crane components.

Packaging, Loading & Delivery Details

• Supply Capacity: Up to 45,000 Metric Tons (MT) per month.

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 25 MT (Equivalent to 1x20GP FCL per profile size).

• Packaging: Standard seaworthy export bundling. Secured with high-tensile steel strapping, corner protectors, and color-coded identification tags. For galvanized or painted profiles, we utilize specialized protective dunnage and waterproof wrapping to prevent white rust or surface scratches during transit.

• Loading Methods: Stuffed in 20ft/40ft containers or shipped via Breakbulk vessels for bulk project cargo shipments.

• Payment Terms: Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight, or Telegraphic Transfer (T/T) with deposit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can we arrange third-party inspection prior to dispatch?

Answer: Absolutely. We fully support and regularly accommodate inspections by independent agencies such as SGS, Bureau Veritas (BV), or TÜV SÜD. Inspections can cover chemical composition, physical dimensions, surface finish, and mechanical testing at our mill or port of loading.

Q2: What documentation do you provide for customs clearance and tariff reduction?

Answer: We supply a comprehensive, compliant shipping dossier including:

1. Commercial Invoice and Packing List.

2. Bill of Lading (B/L).

3. Mill Test Certificate (MTC) conforming to EN 10204 3.1.

4. Government-issued Certificate of Origin (C/O) matching the specific FTA of your country (e.g., Form EUR.1 for the EU/UK, Form CPTPP) to ensure tariff exemptions.

Q3: What is the typical lead time for an export order?

Answer: Standard lead times range from 30 to 45 days from the date of deposit or L/C activation, depending on the specific profile dimensions, grade, and surface treatments (such as hot-dip galvanizing).

Q4: Are your structural profiles compliant with European CBAM regulations?

Answer: Yes. Our partner mills in Vietnam operate with strict environmental monitoring systems. We are fully prepared to provide the necessary carbon emission data and documentation required for European Union CBAM compliance, minimizing administrative friction for our EU-based buyers.
