Jazan City for Primary and Downstream Industries (JCPDI) exported over 11,000 tons of pig iron through its port to Italy, SPA reported.

Pig iron is one of the quality products produced in the factory of the Advanced Smelting Industries Company in JCPDI, which uses state-of-the-art technologies to operate smelting furnaces that are the largest of their kind in the world.
This week, JCPDI also imported 30,000 tons of ilmenite from the Mozambique.

JCPDI's port is a crucial logistical center for trade exchange in the Kingdom, with advanced capabilities and technology in logistical transport services.
Its geographical location on the Red Sea and proximity to the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the countries of the Horn of Africa make it an ideal station for many opportunities in the fields of maritime transport, freight, and export business.

The European Union is planning to vote on whether to introduce tariffs as high as 45% on imported electric vehicles made in China on Oct. 4, Bloomberg News reported on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Member states have received a draft of the regulation for the proposed measures, the report said, adding that the new date could still change.
According to the report, the vote among the bloc's member states was slightly delayed amid last-minute negotiations with Beijing to try to find a resolution that would avoid the new levies.
The European Commission did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The European Commission is on the verge of proposing final tariffs of up to 35.3% on EVs built in China, on top of the EU's standard 10% car import duty.
The proposed final duties will be subject to a vote by the EU's 27 members. They will be implemented by the end of October unless a qualified majority of 15 EU members representing 65% of the EU population votes against the levies.
