Hoping this is an applicable forum for this question. We're doing our due diligence with a tin plating supplier, who forwarded their tin metal supplier's CMRT. They stated in CMRT question 3 they source from the covered countries and provided the usual list of smelters, but none of the covered countries seems to be listed. Our tin plater's supplier answered "Yes" to CMRT questions 3 & 4 and included this comment:
The RMI allows for approved concentrates to be responsibly sourced from the DRC and surrounding covered areas. Smelters that source these approved concentrates from these areas are considered "approved, level 3 smelters" for RMI and reporting purposes. Nathan Trotter's policy follows the Dodd Frank legislation and corresponding RMI approved smelters, and therefore may source material from approved level 3 smelters.
This is the first time I've seen this "disclaimer" before. Has anyone else seen this from your supply chain? Is it legit?
Thanks in advance!
