In 2025, China's export policy for steel industry will be reshaped, and compliance will become the bottom line for survival. In this changing situation, SMLSCO has achieved steady growth by leveraging its compliance advantages.
Dual policy pressure:
-Ending the 'pay to export' policy (2025.10): Announcement No. 17 completely blocks tax evasion loopholes, cleans up non compliant traders, and promotes market prices to return to real costs.
-Opening the "License Era" (January 2026.1): Announcement No. 79 mandates the implementation of export licenses, with original factory MTC becoming a hard threshold for application. Pipeline Suppliers without factory support will be completely unable to ship.
SMLSCO 2025: Against the trend growth and new high efficiency
Despite experiencing a drastic reshuffle in the stainless steel pipeline industry, SMLSCO still maintains a strong growth momentum. Our inventory and delivery system has withstood multiple market tests.
1. According to annual outbound data statistics, SMLSCO has achieved a steady increase in shipment volume for four consecutive years since 2022. In 2025, we once again broke the historical record for total annual shipments for seamless pipe. This growth trend indicates that in the context of stricter compliance, global customers are more inclined to choose inventory service providers with complete qualifications and traceable sources of goods.
2. Data from 2025 shows that the two core materials, 304L and 316L, account for the vast majority of the annual shipment volume. This highly centralized inventory strategy ensures that we can provide immediate stock response when facing urgent maintenance and project supply needs from global buyers.
3. Faced with the business peak in the fourth quarter, our delivery capability has achieved a qualitative leap. By optimizing the lifting process and coordinating operations, the warehousing team set a new historical record of completing 10 container shipments in a single day. No matter how volatile the market is, SMLSCO always maintains an efficient and stable circulation speed.
We have a complete tax system and are not afraid of compliance reviews.
We hold the original MTC and export contract, and the export license application process is smooth and unobstructed.
SMLSCO. Ready When You Are. In 2026, new rules have been established. We will continue to be the most stable safe harbor in your global supply chain with expanded inventory, compliant operations, and ultimate efficiency for the seamless pipe/tube, fittings and flange.
