How much is the cutting service?

·        15€ for outer diameters up to 25 mm

·        35€ for outer diameters up to 35 mm

·        55€ for outer diameters larger than 35 mm

These charges do not apply if standard lengths or lengths on stock are ordered.

What is included in the Online-Shop prices?

The Online-Shop prices are net prices EX WORKS, without packaging, without postage, without insurance, without customs costs, without shipping costs and without metal surcharges.

How is the metal surcharge calculated for cables & wires?

For cables and wires, the net price already includes the so-called copper base price.

·        For standard cables and wires: Copper base price = 150€/100 kg (Unless otherwise agreed in writing)

·        Exception: For telecommunication cables: copper base price = 100€/100 kg, Underground cables: copper base price= 0€/100 kg

The sale price is increased or reduced by the difference between the copper base price and the copper quotation. The copper number is multiplied by the copper difference.

If not otherwise stated, the copper number applies per 1000 m. The calculation basis for the sales price is our published metal quotation quoted on the exchange for copper on the day prior the day the order is received the day before the order is received.
Click here for the current metal quotation in the Online-Shop.

Calculation example:
JZ-500 8 x 0,75 mm², Part no. 10040
Copper quotation: 500€/100 kg (angenommener Wert)
Copper base: 150€/100 kg
Copper number: 58 kg/km
Copper surcharge: ((500€+ 5€*) – 150€) / 100 x 58 kg/km = 205.90 €/km
*calculated value 5€ = 1% of 500€

Other metal surcharges (e.g. aluminum, nickel, lead) are handled equivalent to the copper calculation.

How is the metal surcharge calculated for cable accessories?

Metal calculation for brass:
Metal surcharges contain a brass base cost of 150.00€ per 100 kg of brass. The computational basis for the sale price is the price quoted on the exchange (exchange quotation for MS 58. Processing stage 1) on the day after receipt of the order plus purchase costs. The sale price is increased or reduced by the difference between the brass base cost and brass quotation by allowing a 5% brass surcharge or discount, respectively, for every full 13€ per 100 kg. Such surcharges are always quoted on a purely net basis.

Metal calculation for copper:
Equivalent to cable and conduits (see above).

Metal calcultaion for copper lugs:
The prices contain a copper base cost of 150€ per 100 kg of copper. The computational basis for the sale price is the MK price for copper on the day before the day the order is drafted. The copper number is to be multiplied by the copper difference. If not otherwise stated the copper number is per 1000 pieces. All metal surcharges or discounts are always quoted on a purely net basis.
