Local Market Note

Vancouver's copper rates occasionally exceed the national average when export demand to Asia is strong — timing your load to rising LME periods can pay off. The Lower Mainland has a healthy supply of clean aluminium from construction and marine sectors. Catalytic converter regulations are strictly enforced; bring all documentation.
