Step 01

International Sourcing

HSS Consortium sources primarily from South Korea — partnering directly with industry titans POSCO Steel and Hyundai Steel. Taiwan is an additional secondary sourcing market. We procure both Primary Steel and Secondary Steel (over-roll or prime excess) to offer the most competitive pricing in Bangladesh.

Note on Import License

Operations are currently conducted under Commercial License arrangements while the formal Import License process is being completed — consistent with standard industry practice during the early growth phase.

Step 04 & 05

Distribution Network

Before import, HSS Consortium ensures a confirmed sales channel for each specific batch of steel. This means every shipment has committed buyers before it leaves the Korean or Taiwanese port — a model that provides zero idle inventory and maximum working capital efficiency.

Pre-Committed Sales Policy

HSS Consortium secures advance sales for every import batch before shipment. For GI/GP and GA coils, most imports are already sold before arriving at Chittagong port.
