Currency conversion: USD 1 = CNY 6.7743, using the September 11, 2026 official central parity published by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. This is a reference conversion rate, not a bank settlement offer. Numeric references are calculated from the arithmetic mean of available quotations for the same listed specification, converted to USD per metric tonne and increased by 8%. Values are rounded only at the final USD stage. The 8% is a markup on the material reference, not an 8% gross margin.
