Short answer: HMS is priced per tonne based on a market reference plus or minus the buyer's margin, depending on grade, location, load size and delivery arrangements, and it is normally sold by the truckload with the weight confirmed on a weighbridge, so the best way to compare offers is to check the grade, the delivered or collected basis and any deductions as well as the headline price.
