Technical indicators Chinese buyers look at
- Pricing method Mostly priced by metal tonne or by proportion of contained metal. Unit prices are high, so penalty clauses move the settlement figure noticeably.
- Lot characteristics Individual lots are small and frequency irregular. Long-term contracts are uncommon; most deals close as spot trades or through a consigned bidding process.
- Key documents Export licence, a statement of dangerous-goods or regulated status, test reports, and packaging and transport compliance documents.
- Risk-control focus Verifying who the counterparty is and whether title can be traced matters more than the price negotiation itself.
Admissibility and compliance points
- Some items such as magnesium powder may carry dangerous-goods transport status; packaging, labelling and mode of carriage must comply accordingly.
- In some source regions, tantalum-niobium falls under conflict-minerals due-diligence requirements; a source statement and chain traceability should travel with the cargo.
- High-value, small-volume cargo is where impersonation and fabricated supply concentrate; the payment schedule should be bound strictly to evidence of title.
Applicable delivery channels
- Irkeshtam / Torugart (road) Kyrgyz antimony ore and precious-metal ore sand.
- Land-port FCA For lots already moved to the seller's own border port, where our carrier takes delivery.
- Bonded-warehouse spot Sampling and inspection inside the bonded warehouse followed by payment — the recommended route for a first minor-metals order.
The ports, delivery points, transport modes and applicable products for each channel, together with the full cooperation models and the eight-step transaction process, are set out on the two pages below.
Submit your minor-metals supply details
Please provide the item and its form, principal content, lot size, export-licence status, whether dangerous-goods status applies, and the cargo location. The more complete the material, the faster we can match a Chinese buyer and put together a workable plan.
Before paying, please read the impersonation and fraud notice.
