Export Compliance Support

Buyer Decision Criteria

• Destination country, Incoterm, consignee details, and whether the import broker requires specific rare-earth composition documentation.
• Magnet grade and whether it contains controlled heavy rare-earth elements (Dysprosium, Terbium) that may trigger MOFCOM export license requirements under Announcements No. 55–62.
• Foreign Direct Product Rule (FDPR) screening: whether the end-use, end-user, or destination triggers additional dual-use export control obligations.
• Required evidence set: chemical composition report (XRF/ICP), grade confirmation, inspection records, packing list, invoice, and end-use declaration.
• Whether any grade, coating, or supplier-source change requires re-testing of rare-earth content and written customer approval.

Factory Capability

• Chemical composition analysis (XRF/ICP) to determine exact Dysprosium and Terbium content per production batch, compared against MOFCOM control thresholds.
• MOFCOM E-platform export license filing coordination — supplier-side preparation of application documents for the multi-ministry joint review process (typically 45 working days).
• Material, coating, magnetization, inspection, and assembly lot traceability aligned to rare-earth export control documentation requirements.
• Magnetic shielding, IATA/IMDG hazmat labeling, and export packing planning for strong assemblies.
• Supplier-side coordination with buyer compliance teams, freight forwarders, and import brokers for cross-border rare-earth magnet shipments.

RFQ Preparation Checklist

1. Destination country, Incoterm, and consignee details
2. Magnet grade and whether it contains controlled heavy rare-earth elements (Dy, Tb)
3. Required documents: grade confirmation, chemical composition report, inspection report, packing list, and invoice
4. Customer compliance workflow, restricted-party screening, end-use declaration, or import broker requirements
5. Whether the buyer needs supplier-side coordination with MOFCOM E-platform license filing

Risk and Mitigation

• Undeclared heavy rare-earth content triggers customs seizure: Run chemical composition analysis (XRF/ICP) before shipment to confirm whether Dy or Tb content crosses the MOFCOM control threshold.
• MOFCOM export license not obtained before production deadline: Begin MOFCOM E-platform filing at RFQ stage; allow 45+ working days for multi-ministry review before scheduled shipment.
• Grade substitution changes rare-earth content without buyer knowledge: Use written change control for magnet grade, supplier source, or rare-earth formulation; re-test composition after any substitution.
• Shipment delay caused by magnetic goods handling or labeling gap: Plan magnetic shielding, IATA/IMDG labeling, crate dimensions, and carrier requirements before pickup.

Validation Deliverables

• Chemical composition report (Dy/Tb/total rare-earth content) per production batch.
• MOFCOM license application support documentation and timeline alignment.
• Material grade, coating, inspection, and traceability records by agreed scope.
• Export packing notes with crate dimensions, gross weight, magnetic field measurement at package surface, and handling instructions.
• Change-control records for any material, coating, or rare-earth formulation substitution.

RFQ to Delivery Flow

1. Send destination, Incoterm, required document list, end-use declaration, and broker instructions with the RFQ.
2. We screen magnet grade for heavy rare-earth content and advise on MOFCOM license requirements before quote freeze.
3. For controlled grades, MOFCOM E-platform filing begins at order confirmation; allow 45+ working days for multi-ministry review.
4. Shipment preparation includes agreed packing, IATA/IMDG labeling, invoice, packing list, composition report, and MOFCOM license copy when applicable.
