Zinc
锌
Bulk metal commodity. SHG (Special High Grade) at 99.995% min Zn is the LME-traded standard. Ships in ingots, jumbo, or slabs depending on downstream use. China is one of the largest producers but typically self-consumes most output for galvanising and die-casting.

Typical Chinese supplier geography
Major Chinese capacity sits in Yunnan, Hunan, Inner Mongolia. Coastal producers (Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang) typically dominate export volume because of port access; inland producers (Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Shaanxi) compete on raw-material cost but add inland-rail or trucking cost to reach the coast.
Sourcing documentation chain
Every shipment of Zinc from China should include a per-batch COA, a current SDS per GB/T 17519 on the China side and the destination jurisdiction's standard on the import side, a packing list, a bill of lading, and a certificate of origin. For Incoterms reference see FOB, CIF, and CFR.
