Steel Rebar Export to Malta — B500B from Germany, EN 10080 Compliant
Supply German-standard reinforcing steel to construction and infrastructure projects in Malta. Our B500B rebar to EN 10080 is technically comparable to the B500B grade used across the EU — shipped in seaworthy bundles to Marsaxlokk with full Mill Test Certificates and export documentation.
Rebar Malta: Why Source B500B from Germany?
Malta’s construction sector — from high-density residential development in the Grand Harbour area to civil infrastructure and tourism-related projects — relies on reinforcing steel that meets European structural standards. The applicable standard across the EU, including Malta, is EN 10080, the harmonised European specification for weldable reinforcing steel. Our B500B rebar, manufactured to DIN 488 and EN 10080, is technically comparable to the B500B grade referenced in Maltese and pan-EU structural design codes (EN 1992-1-1 / Eurocode 2).
It is important to note that we supply material on a comparability basis: our product meets EN 10080 and DIN 488 requirements for B500B, but we do not claim formal approval or listing under any specific Maltese national authority. Structural engineers and project buyers should verify local acceptance requirements before specifying.
Product Range Available for Export to Malta
We supply a full range of reinforcing steel products suitable for Maltese construction projects:
- B500B deformed bars — 8 mm to 40 mm diameter, standard lengths 6–12 m, hot-rolled, high ductility (k ≥ 1.08, Agt ≥ 5.0%)
- B500A coils — 6–16 mm for automated stirrup bending and mesh production on-site
- Reinforcing mesh panels — standard and bespoke sizes (e.g. 6.0 × 2.3 m), Q- and R-types to DIN 488-4
- Cut-and-bend rebar — processed to BS 8666 / DIN 488 shape codes, bundled per schedule
- Mechanical couplers — parallel-thread or taper-thread, 12–40 mm, for lap-splice elimination in dense reinforcement zones

Shipping to Malta — Marsaxlokk Port
Malta’s primary deep-water container terminal. We handle all logistics from German mill to destination port.
Container Shipment
20 ft or 40 ft containers loaded with rebar bundles (typically ~2 t per bundle, seaworthy banding). Suitable for bar lengths up to 12 m in standard containers or 18 m in open-top/flat-rack.
Break-Bulk Option
For larger tonnage orders or oversized sections, break-bulk or Ro-Ro arrangements can be coordinated. We advise on the most cost-effective mode based on order volume.
HS Code Classification
Reinforcing steel bars typically fall under HS 7214 (bars/rods of iron or non-alloy steel) or HS 7213 (wire rod). We provide an itemised packing list and commercial invoice for Maltese customs clearance.
Export Documentation Package
Every shipment to Malta is accompanied by a complete set of export documents.
Mill Test Certificate (EN 10204 3.1)
Third-party validated chemical composition and mechanical test results — yield strength, tensile strength, elongation — traceable to the specific heat/cast. Required by structural engineers and site inspectors.
Certificate of Origin
Confirming German origin of the material, issued by the relevant Chamber of Commerce. Relevant for customs duties and project specifications requiring EU-origin steel.
CE Declaration of Performance (DoP)
Where applicable, the CE mark and accompanying DoP confirming conformity with EN 10080 and the relevant harmonised European standard.
Packing List & Commercial Invoice
Bundle-by-bundle breakdown of diameters, lengths, quantities, and gross/net weights, matched to the commercial invoice for smooth customs processing at Marsaxlokk.
Standards Comparability: EN 10080 B500B vs. Maltese Practice
Malta, as an EU member state, applies Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1) for structural concrete design, and reinforcing steel to EN 10080 is the referenced product standard. Our B500B material — with minimum yield strength 500 MPa, characteristic ratio k = ft/fy ≥ 1.08, and total elongation at maximum force Agt ≥ 5.0% — is technically comparable to the B500B grade called out in EN 1992-1-1 Annex C.
This comparability is on a technical basis. We do not hold or claim any specific Maltese national approval, building code listing, or local authority endorsement. Project buyers and structural engineers should confirm local acceptance with the relevant authorities (Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority, structural engineer of record, or the contracting authority’s specification) before procurement.
