In 2004, John Ross & Sons became one of the first international scrap metal recycling businesses to be recognized by the AQSIQ.
As our global marketplace continues to evolve, we are presented with more sales opportunities to expand into the international market. With most of our sales departing from the Port of Halifax, John Ross & Sons recognizes this opportunity.
The AQSIQ (General Administration of quality supervision, inspection, and quarantine of the people’s republic of China) is an administrative organization under the State Council of China. It is in charge of administering the inspection and quarantine clearance for entry-exit goods related to the environment, human safety, and transportation means and personnel.
With this recognition, John Ross & Sons will continue to be a self-inspector with the AQSIQ, allowing them to increase their export capacities into China, expand further into the global market, and continue to be one of the largest exporters out of the Port of Halifax.
