Details of Recycling Transactions

Thank you for your interest in precious-metal recycling. This page introduces the standard process for conducting precious-metal recycling transactions with ISHIFUKU in Japan. Please note that transactions involving the import and export of refined products may not necessarily follow this process. Please consult with our sales representative for further information.
Be sure to check the following items before entrusting us with the target products. We strictly protect clients' personal information and the information related to precious metals throughout the entire process of investigation, collection, refining, and delivery of the target products. You can contact us with confidence.
Transaction process

Details of each process
Inquiry | Refining feasibility will be determined based on the information provided by the client. If it is not possible to determine the feasibility of refining the product immediately, we may request a small sample of the product for further assessment. Please be aware that refining transactions involving imports require additional verification requirements.
|
---|
Estimate | If refining is possible, we will provide you with an estimate and an approximate delivery time. Once you agree to the estimate, please provide us with your order instructions. Please be aware that the estimated recovery quantity and cost provided in the estimate are based on the information you have provided. The actual weight after refining will be communicated to you in the analysis settlement result report. The actual purchase price will be determined and agreed upon between both parties after the analysis settlement result report date. |
---|
Order | When placing an order, we request your agreement to our "Policy on Raw Material Procurement" and your cooperation in completing the questionnaire aimed at assessing and evaluating the safety of the supply chain. |

Acceptance of the items | If there is a significant discrepancy between the weight declared by the client and the weight we measured after acceptance, we may contact you to confirm. |
---|
Submission of analysis results and quotation | Based on the sampling and analysis results of the target items, we will calculate the precious metal content and provide you with a quotation after deducting any contract losses to determine the net weight. The quotation will include the price calculated based on the market rate on the date of issuance. |
---|
Decision on purchase or return | Once you agree to the quotation, please specify whether you would like our company to purchase the subject item or return it to you. We can also allocate the precious metal for use in other products you have ordered. Please contact us to discuss this option.

Settlement | The transaction is completed when we transfer the payment or return the precious metals. |

Frequently Asked Questions
We can purchase them after verifying the weight and quality after we refined it. In that case, there will be costs associated with analysis and refining.
We may not be able to accept scrap materials containing certain environmentally hazardous substances. Please check with us through the inquiry form.
That is not possible. We will first refine your items, then issue a settlement quatation and make the payment. The payment amount will be determined based on the purchase unit price on the day of the settlement quatation.
