Metal prices

I was just updating my pricing spreadsheets and got to wondering how much you lot in the US and other countries pay for your metal.
I actually import my aluminium by the 750 kg mill run as I own the dies , ally has gone down over the last 5 years. Or maybe my buying power is better.
Aluminium I pay $5,000.00 per tonne 6063 T5
$5,200.00 per tonne 6061 T6
Stainless 304 is $8-9.00 per kg
316 is $11-12.00 per kg
They are for flat bar , angles etc
50.8mm tube is $15/m in 304 and $26/m 316 in 320,400,or 600 grit 800 is about $3.00 per meter more. 1.6mm wall .
I never have need for mild steel.
Australian dollars ,
We pay 10% GST on that but as a company I get that credited to off set against GST collected.

How do our prices compare to that over seas?
