Dear Valued Supplier Partners,

At Valiant TMS, we remain committed to conducting our business in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. In light of the recent amendments to the EU Regulation R.833/2014 on June 23, 2023, regarding steel and iron imports, we are reaching out to ensure our supplier partners are fully informed and compliant with the new requirements.

• Suppliers must certify that none of the iron or steel products provided to Valiant TMS originate from Russia, including those processed in third countries.

Declaration of Compliance: All supplier partners are required to complete and submit a Declaration of Compliance confirming that any products delivered to Valiant TMS comply with these regulations.

The declaration also confirms alignment with our Code of Conduct for Supplier Partners (VTMS1-C1902).

The declaration must be signed and submitted via email.
