The East Asian scrap import market has been quiet this week, with prices weakening and importers delaying purchases as a result, traders said. Offers for containerized heavy melting scrap I/II (80/20) from USA slipped to 385 dollars/mt CFR Taiwan by Friday, down from 393 dollars/mt earlier in the week. A deal involving 2,000-3,000 mt was heard booked mid-week at 385 dollars/mt CFR, but otherwise the market was quiet.
