Overview

Rare earth elements are traded mainly as oxides, metals and alloys, specified by element, purity and total rare earth oxide content. Supply is concentrated in a small number of countries, and export licensing applies to many products.

We work to your specification and confirm export licence, end-user and sanctions positions before any offer is made.

What we cover

Dysprosium and terbiumOxides and metal
Lanthanum and ceriumOxides and carbonates
Yttrium and othersOn request, by specification

How we work

  • We confirm a real seller, with a specification and a price, before we offer anything to a buyer
  • Sellers are verified: registry, tax, directors, title and bank reference
  • Independent inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek or an equivalent accredited surveyor before any letter of credit is opened
  • Prices and counterparties are never shared without approval

Frequently asked questions

How are rare earth products specified?

By element, purity (for example 99.5% or 99.9%), total rare earth oxide content and limits on other rare earths and non-rare-earth impurities.

Do rare earths require export licences?

Many rare earth products are subject to export licensing in their country of origin. We confirm the licence and end-user certificate position before a deal proceeds.

What volumes are typical?

Rare earth orders are often measured in tonnes or tens of tonnes rather than containers. Tell us your requirement and we will advise what is available.
