Why Our Rare Earth Supply?

China produces 85% of the world's rare earths — we supply them with the documentation and consistency your process requires.

  • Certified purity — every lot analyzed by ICP-OES and XRF — certificate of analysis with full rare earth and impurity profile
  • Consistent sourcing — material from licensed Chinese mines and separation plants — no conflict or untraceable material
  • Complete portfolio — light rare earths (La, Ce, Pr, Nd) through heavy rare earths (Dy, Tb, Ho) — oxides, metals, and alloys
  • Supply stability — long-term contracts with separation plants insulate you from spot market volatility

Oxide vs Metal

Rare earths are supplied in two primary forms — choose based on your process:

  • Oxide — stable, easy to store and transport — but must be reduced to metal before alloying (requires high-temperature reduction your process may not have)
  • Metal — ready for direct alloying in vacuum induction furnaces — but oxidizes readily and requires inert storage
  • Alloys — pre-alloyed NdFeB or SmCo master alloys — the most convenient if you're melting magnet alloy

Quality & Compliance

Documentation supporting your supply chain requirements:

  • Certificate of Analysis — ICP-OES rare earth distribution, XRF purity, and loss on ignition for every lot
  • Traceability — from separation plant through our warehouse to your receiving dock — lot genealogy available on request
  • Conflict-free declaration — material sourced from licensed Chinese operations — no conflict minerals as defined by Section 1502
  • Export compliance — we handle Chinese export licensing for rare earth products — you receive compliant documentation
Production & Supply Planning

Rare Earth Materials: A Defined Route to Repeat Orders

Agree the process, acceptance criteria and shipment plan before production starts. The quotation identifies the producing site and the controls required for your part.

  1. Confirm the manufacturing route

    Select the material form, composition, purity and batch size for the intended alloying or processing route.

  2. Approve the inspection plan

    Agree elemental composition, impurity limits, analysis methods and moisture-sensitive handling requirements.

  3. Qualify before repeat supply

    Define sample approval, drawing revision and lot identification. Agree how material, process or site changes will be reviewed before implementation.

  4. Plan releases and delivery

    Confirm order quantities, capacity allocation, packaging and shipping terms against your forecast. Delivery dates and any buffer-stock arrangement belong in the agreed supply plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you export rare earth materials from China?

Yes — we hold the required export licenses and handle all Chinese customs documentation for rare earth products. Certain rare earths are subject to Chinese export quotas and tariffs — we'll confirm availability and pricing for your destination country before you commit.

What's the lead time for rare earth orders?

Standard products (NdPr oxide/metal) ship within 2–4 weeks for quantities under 1 ton. Heavy rare earths (Dy, Tb) may have longer lead times depending on market availability. We'll confirm lead time with your quote.

Can you supply to REACH / TSCA registered standards?

We supply to customers under both EU REACH and US TSCA frameworks. Registration compliance is the importer's responsibility — we provide the SDS, composition data, and support documentation your registration requires.

How do I know the material is what you say it is?

Every shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis from our in-house ICP-OES lab. For high-value or critical applications, we support third-party verification — send a sample from your received lot to any independent lab and we'll match our CoA against their results.

Traceability, Packaging & Supply Security

Lot Traceability & CoA

Every lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis — purity, rare-earth distribution and impurity levels — traceable from production to your dock.

Export-Ready Packaging

Sealed drums and bags with inert-gas or moisture protection as required; UN-approved packaging and dangerous-goods documentation where applicable.

Supply Security

Multi-source raw material procurement and buffer stock programs on request, with export compliance handled by our experienced trade team.
