Birch/Cliff is No. 2 copper scrap. Birch is No. 2 copper wire, which has some oxidation, coating or contamination. Cliff is No. 2 copper solids such as mixed pieces, tube and clippings. Both are typically about 94% to 96% copper.
Millberry is clean, bare No. 1 wire of about 99% copper or better. Birch/Cliff is No. 2 wire and solids with more oxidation and contamination and lower copper content. Millberry sells closer to the LME.
As a percentage of the LME or a discount per tonne below it. The discount is wider than for millberry and depends on the tested copper content, contamination, location and payment terms.

Typical birch/cliff copper scrap specification
It depends on the country. Several African countries restrict, tax or ban scrap metal exports, and South Africa runs an export control system for scrap. Check the current rules and make sure the seller holds a valid export permit.
Ask for a dated video of the actual lot, appoint an independent inspector to check the grade, weight and contamination at loading, and start with one container. Do not pay in full before the goods are inspected and loaded.
