Can we import scrap tanks and other scrap metals from Russia?
Weapons can not be imported waste weapons, dismantling can be imported, of course, there are many quite complicated documents and approval, inspection and other processes. Strict requirements, of course, this kind of examination and approval is two-way, that is, whether Russia or China should check and approval, so tedious headache. And there's a big problem. That's tank metal. Many are special metals. There are many kinds of alloys inside. Therefore, after dismantling, the cost of separation is quite large, which involves the cost of the problem.
Imports of scrap metals, as long as there is no safety problems (radiation, biological safety, etc.), can be from any country, of course, the premise is the cost of the economy. Because the current domestic steel overcapacity, iron and steel prices can not be lower, and even some steel prices lower than the cost price (major steel mills low price struggle against the vicious results of the market). So be sure not to import more than new domestic steel.
Scrap metal can be, scrap tanks do the relevant documents, you can also.
Dismantling tanks imported from Russia, take the land rail, then the cost is lower. But it's relatively complicated. Personally, Russia's many old warships, if you can get, and then dragged back dismantling, it would be more cost-effective.
