Yesterday, a customer inquired through an online communication tool whether an export license is required for the export of permanent magnets. It's unclear whether he intends to export the magnets or just wants to inquire about it. Now, let's have Xiao Fu introduce this issue.
Firstly, there are many types of permanent magnets. Commonly used ones such as neodymium iron boron and ferrite are all types of permanent magnets, but not all of them necessarily require an export license. Whether one is required depends on whether the type of magnet you intend to export falls under controlled items. If it does, you will need to submit the "Export License for Dual-use Items and Technologies" to customs.
Exporting ordinary ferrite magnets is relatively straightforward, as they primarily consist of iron oxide and are not classified as rare earth materials under strict national control. However, it is still necessary to ensure proper magnetic isolation packaging and provide relevant reports.
Rectangular rare earth neodymium permanent magnet

If it is a neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnet, special attention should be paid. This is because neodymium-iron-boron typically contains rare earth elements such as neodymium (Nd), dysprosium (Dy), and terbium (Tb), which are key controlled resources in China. Some high-performance neodymium-iron-boron magnets (UH/EH) may involve export controls, licenses, or related declaration requirements when exported.
In the actual export process, especially when exporting to countries like the United States and Japan, customs are particularly strict. Even if the magnet does not contain controlled components, those who understand the situation will know what I mean.
The above is an introduction to "Do Permanent Magnets Need Export Licenses for Export?" For us, as magnet manufacturers, preparing materials such as material lists, RoHS, REACH, MSDS, magnetic inspection reports, and transportation reports in advance will greatly facilitate smooth exports.
