Who we are

A steel company built around flat steel.

Zahi Steel connects proven steel mills in China and India with buyers across the Gulf, Africa and Europe. We focus on what matters to a steel buyer: the right grade, consistent quality, documents that clear customs, and cargo that arrives when promised.

From a single container of GI sheets to full break-bulk shipments of HR coils, we handle sourcing, inspection, logistics and trade finance so you can focus on your projects and production lines.

EUROPE · CBAM

Since 1 January 2026 the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is in its definitive phase. Importers of steel above 50 tonnes a year must be authorised and pay for the CO₂ embedded in what they import.

  • Supplier emissions data shared with your authorised declarant on request
  • Accurate CN codes and origin on every invoice

Trade-defence checks

EU safeguard quotas and anti-dumping duties vary by product and origin. We check them before offering China or India material into Europe.

FAQ

Buying from us.

Anything else? Ask on WhatsApp — we usually answer the same day.

What is your minimum order?

Typically one 20-ft container (around 20 – 25 MT) for coils and sheets. Break-bulk lots are usually from 500 MT upward. Smaller mixed loads can be discussed.

Which payment terms do you accept?

Irrevocable LC at sight or TT (for example an advance with balance against copy documents), as agreed in each contract.

Can I get third-party inspection?

Yes. Independent inspection by an agency of your choice — such as SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek — can be arranged before loading.

Do you hold stock in the UAE?

We trade mostly mill-direct, which keeps prices competitive. Ready stock lots are offered to regular buyers when available.

Which Incoterms do you offer?

FOB at the loading port, or CFR / CIF to your destination port. We quote on whichever basis suits your logistics.
