(1) The Chinese government has issued a notice regarding the export control of certain rare earth elements and their related materials. The export control applies to the following items: metallic neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy), terbium (Tb), holmium (Ho), thulium (Tm), yttrium (Y), and scandium (Sc). The controlled items include metallic forms, alloys, targets, and compounds of these elements, as well as their oxides and mixtures.
(2) Specifically, the controlled items are:
(3) - Metallic neodymium (Nd) and its alloys, including Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets - Praseodymium (Pr) and its alloys, including Pr-Fe-B permanent magnets - Dysprosium (Dy) and its alloys, including Dy-Fe-B permanent magnets - Terbium (Tb) and its alloys, including Tb-Fe-B permanent magnets - Holmium (Ho) and its alloys - Thulium (Tm) and its alloys - Yttrium (Y) and its alloys - Scandium (Sc) and its alloys
(4) The export control also applies to the oxides and compounds of these elements, including their mixtures. The controlled items are used in various industries, such as electronics, renewable energy, and advanced ceramics.
(5) To implement the export control, exporters must apply for a license from the Ministry of Commerce and Customs General Administration. Exporters must also ensure accurate identification and declaration of the controlled items, including the two-use item export control code.
