Steel Rebar Export to Namibia
Sourcing rebar Namibia construction and infrastructure projects require? We supply German B500B reinforcing steel to EN 10080 — shipped direct to Walvis Bay with MTC EN 10204 3.1, Certificate of Origin, and seaworthy bundled packing.
Namibia’s Construction Sector & Rebar Market
Namibia’s construction industry has sustained steady growth driven by government infrastructure programmes, mining-sector expansion, housing development in Windhoek and Walvis Bay, and large-scale logistics and port infrastructure investment. Rebar Namibia contractors and importers source is primarily governed by South African and British-origin standards, making internationally certified German rebar a strong fit for quality-conscious projects.
Namibia’s reinforcing steel specification follows SANS 920 (aligned with BS 4449 / EN 10080) for B500B grade deformed bar. Our German B500B rebar to EN 10080 is technically comparable to SANS / BS 4449 B500B in all key mechanical properties: 500 MPa minimum yield, k ≥ 1.08, and Agt ≥ 5.0%. We supply on a technical-comparability basis. Formal acceptance under Namibian building codes and project specifications must be confirmed by the engineer of record.
B500B Reinforcing Bar: Key Specifications
Our export product for Namibia is hot-rolled deformed B500B bar to EN 10080 / DIN 488. Mechanical parameters:

- Tensile-to-yield ratio k: ≥ 1.08
- Uniform elongation Agt: ≥ 5.0%
- Surface: ribbed (deformed) for reinforced concrete bond
- Certification: EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificate per heat

Shipping to Namibia: The Walvis Bay Advantage
Namibia has a significant logistics advantage over many other southern African markets: the Port of Walvis Bay is Namibia’s primary deep-water port and one of the most modern and efficient container ports on the Atlantic coast of Africa. It offers direct access to Windhoek and serves as a regional transit hub for landlocked neighbours.
Direct Container Shipping
Walvis Bay handles regular container liner services from European ports. 20-ft and 40-ft containers can be loaded direct, with no transshipment in most cases — reducing transit time and handling risk.
Atlantic Coast Access
Unlike eastern African ports, Walvis Bay is positioned on the Atlantic, potentially reducing transit time for shipments originating from German North Sea or Hamburg ports via direct westbound routing.
Seaworthy Bundled Packing
Rebar is steel-banded in ~2 t seaworthy bundles, clearly tagged per heat. Moisture-resistant wrapping protects against coastal and tropical humidity during transit and port storage.
Export Documentation for Namibia
Namibian customs (under NamRA — Namibia Revenue Agency) requires a standard set of import documentation. We prepare and supply:
- Mill Test Certificate (EN 10204 3.1) — heat-traceable chemical and mechanical test data from a third-party accredited body
- Certificate of Origin — IHK-issued for German/EU origin, supporting any applicable import preference or compliance requirement
- Commercial Invoice — itemised by grade, diameter, length, unit weight, and HS code
- Packing List — bundle-by-bundle breakdown with net and gross weights
- Bill of Lading — carrier-issued, consignee per buyer instruction
- HS Code — HS 7214.20 (deformed bars of iron or non-alloy steel for concrete reinforcement)
We can also assist with CE Declaration of Performance under EN 10080 where required by the project’s procurement specification. Full export and delivery details →

Why Source German Rebar for Namibia?
EN 10204 3.1 MTC
Independent third-party test certification per production heat — a higher standard of traceability than many regional suppliers offer.
Consistent EU Quality
EN 10080 production surveillance ensures consistent yield, elongation, and rib geometry — reducing site quality risk for Namibian projects.
Walvis Bay Direct
Direct liner services from North Sea ports to Walvis Bay mean shorter transit times and fewer handling steps compared to transshipment-dependent routes.
