The following information is the ACS Surcharge Policy. For more information, please see the full Surcharge Policy Notes & Citations.
1. All Surcharges published on the ACS Industries, Inc. website are specific to the United States. For Surcharges relating to other regions, please Contact Us.
2. Base Price / Lb is an approximation of a commodity’s price on metal exchanges in the Policy’s base year (2003). This is the price that ACS factors into product costing and quotations.
3. Current Price / Lb is the material’s trailing two-months (i.e. November calculations use September’s closing spot averages) on metal exchanges. The Base Price / Lb is subtracted from this number to calculate the surcharge component applied to individual alloys.
4. ACS factors 6% total scrap on raw material – 3% for wire processing and 3% for finished goods fabrication.
5. Total Surcharge / Lb equals the Surcharge Sub Total plus the Scrap Factor and is the value applied to individual part weights.
