China’s rare-earth exports: not a blanket ban—apply the four-layer test

Bottom line: China has not imposed a blanket ban on rare-earth exports. As of 2026-08-23, the rules operate in four layers: ordinary export licensing, dual-use export controls, prohibited export technologies, and source/end-user restrictions. Goods covered by the 75 Chinese 10-digit tariff codes in the 2026 rare-earth catalogue generally require an Export Licence. If their composition or form also meets 1C111.b.1.h or 1C902–1C908, the exporter must instead obtain a Dual-use Items and Technologies Export Licence; once granted, the ordinary licence is not required. Only prohibited technologies, illegal-source products and prohibited end-user cases should be labelled prohibited or subject to a special application.

As of 2026-08-23: First separate "valid" and "suspended"

This page is based on the current original texts of the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs, and the State Council, as well as the two official licensing catalogs in 2026. No customs trade volumes, prices or media speculation were mixed into legal determinations.

Currently valid: 75 tax code general license + 1C111/1C902~1C908 dual-use control

The 2026 "Export License Management Goods Catalog" and the "Dual-use Items and Technology Import and Export License Management Catalog" are applicable at the same time; if the same goods are dual-use items, the dual-use items will be given priority, and they will be exempted from applying for a general export license after approval.

Currently valid: 083201J Rare earth technology export prohibited

Rare earth extraction and separation, rare earth metal and alloy material production, specific magnet preparation and rare earth calcium oxyborate preparation technology are still listed in the export-prohibited section and are not subject to general licensing.

Suspended until 2026-11-10: No. 55, 56, 57, 58, 61, 62 of 2025

Announcement No. 70 of 2025 issued by the Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs has suspended the above measures. "Chinese content reaches 0.1%", "newly added holmium, erbium, thulium, europium, ytterbium" or 1E902 cannot be regarded as ongoing warnings.

HS Code is just a filter, not a conclusion on dual-use items

Ordinary export licenses can be filtered according to China's 10-code tax code; dual-use items are still subject to the technical description, composition, form, purpose and user of the control code.

If the goods are in both the general permit catalog and dual-use items, they cannot leave the country with just the ordinary "Export License"; they must first obtain a dual-use item permit. Those who have been approved for dual-use items are not required to apply for a general export license.

Nine-step decision process for the website rules engine

1Confirm China 10-digit tax number

The first 6 digits of Taiwan's CCC can only be mapped to the candidate range, and the 10-digit tax number actually declared by the Chinese exporter must be obtained.

2Hit 75 first-order general export licenses

The tax code is in the complete list on this page, first marked with CN-RE-GEN, do not directly write it as export prohibited or dual-use control.

3Compare the technical descriptions of dual-use items

Verbatim verification of 1C111.b.1.h and 1C902~1C908; the successful ones will be upgraded to dual-use item licenses.

4Magnetic materials, mixtures, alloys and targets require complete composition

Obtain the element ratio, chemical formula, form, whether it is reactive, whether it is a magnet/magnetic powder, and the degree of processing; no "automatic exemption for less than 1%" is allowed.

5Determine whether it has been deeply processed

The magnet itself, magnetic powder and simply processed magnetic components may be controlled; fixedly integrated into motors, speakers, sensors or general consumer products, and generally fall outside the scope of Bulletin No. 18.

6Technical hit 083201J stops general licensing process

Export-prohibited technologies cannot be replaced by goods export licenses or dual-use item licenses.

7Check legal sources and traceability records

Products illegally mined or illegally smelted and separated are not allowed to be exported; export companies must also establish flow records.

8Screening of real importers, end users and uses

List restrictions cannot only be based on HS tax numbers; the actual receipt, control, use and resale objects must be checked, as well as the risks of military, nuclear weapons, missiles or terrorist uses.

9Exclude false positives that only hit pause announcements

Nos. 55, 56, 57, 58, 61, and 62 should not be effective warnings before 2026-11-10, but the date will be reserved for review.

General Export License: Complete 75 Chinese 10-digit tax numbers

Dual-use items: current directly relevant scope

Announcement No. 18 of 2025 has been implemented since 2025-04-04 and has been included in the 2026 dual-use items list. The control does not only look at the name of the element, but also looks at the specific description of metals, designated alloys, targets, permanent magnet materials, oxides, compounds and their mixtures.

control codeelement/itemMain forms of regulation
1C111.b.1.hHigh purity fine grained cerium powderThe particle size is less than 500μm, and the content of metallic cerium or its alloy is ≥97% by weight; refer to tax number 2805301510.
1C902samariumMetals; samarium cobalt, samarium iron, samarium nickel, samarium aluminum, samarium magnesium alloys; related target materials; samarium cobalt permanent magnet materials; oxides, compounds and mixtures.
1C903gadoliniumMetals; gallium magnesium, gallium aluminum alloys; gallium, gallium iron, gallium cobalt targets; oxides, compounds and mixtures.
1C904terbiumMetals; cobalt and cobalt-iron alloys; cobalt and cobalt targets; neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnet materials containing phosphorus; oxides, compounds and mixtures.
1C905dysprosiumMetals; dysprosium-iron, dysprosium-iron alloys; dysprosium, dysprosium-iron targets; dysprosium-containing neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnet materials; oxides, compounds and mixtures.

1C907scandiumMetals; scandium aluminum, scandium magnesium, scandium copper alloys; scandium targets; oxides, compounds and mixtures.
1C908yttriumMetals; yttrium aluminum, yttrium magnesium, yttrium nickel, yttrium copper, yttrium iron alloys; yttrium, yttrium aluminum, yttrium zirconium targets; oxides, compounds and mixtures.
Alloys, targets and permanent magnet materials come in a wide range of forms

Alloys include ingots, blocks, strips, wires, sheets, rods, plates, tubes, particles and powders; target materials include sheets, tubes, etc.; permanent magnet materials include magnets or magnetic powder.

The permanent magnet tax number cannot be directly concluded.

Common tax numbers such as 850511 and 850519 for permanent magnets can only trigger "Check Material". It should be confirmed whether it is samarium cobalt, phosphorus-containing neodymium-iron-boron or dysprosium-containing neodymium-iron-boron, and whether it has been deeply processed.

The reference tax code is not the control scope itself

3824999922, 8486909110 Only some products may be hit, and the entire tax code cannot be marked as rare earth dual-use items; alloys or magnetic materials that do not have a fixed reference tax code may also be controlled due to technical description.

How to calculate 36

The official reference tax numbers of 1C902~1C908 are 35 after deduplication, plus 1C111.b.1.h's 2805301510, a total of 36.

How to determine component content, alloys and mixtures

Officials have not announced the minimum exemption ratio that applies to all medium and heavy rare earth items. The rule base cannot be set to "Automatically unregulated below 1%".

Official exampleRare earth contentOfficial preliminary conclusion
Aluminum alloy powder contains scandiumScandium 1%Still belongs to the scope of scandium aluminum alloy
Mineral soil desiccant containing dysprosium oxideDysprosium oxide 0.15%Still a mixture of dysprosium oxide
Catalyst raw material contains yttrium oxideYttrium oxide 0.5%Still a mixture of yttrium oxide
The slurry contains yttrium oxideYttrium oxide 12%Yttrium oxide mixture
First distinguish between compounds, mixtures and functional materials

"Mixture" refers to a simple physical mixture without fixed chemical formula, composition and properties. The components do not undergo chemical reactions and retain their original properties. If new downstream functional materials have been formed, they should be judged by official further processing.

Rare earth regulations that are truly “prohibited from export”

Forbidden typesCurrent contentExport results
083201J Rare earth technologyRare earth extraction and separation technology; production of rare earth metals and alloy materials; preparation of samarium cobalt, neodymium iron boron, and cerium magnets; preparation technology of rare earth calcium oxyborate.In principle, no export is allowed
Rare earth products from illegal sourcesIllegal mining or illegal smelting of separated rare earth products.No acquisition, processing, sale or export
Control list end usersExport dual-use items to entities included in the export control list.Prohibited; please apply separately under special circumstances
Comprehensive risk controlEven if there is no list, the exporter knows, should know, or has been notified that it may endanger national security, involve weapons of mass destruction and delivery vehicles, or be used for terrorist purposes.Permission required
083201J and the suspended 1E902 are two systems

1E902.a/1E902.b of Announcement No. 62 of 2025 has been suspended, which does not mean that 083201J in the 2023 technical catalog is invalid; Adjustment Announcement No. 28 of 2025 has not deleted or modified 083201J.

Technology export involves more than just sending documents

Licensing, investment, exchange, donation, display, testing, assistance, teaching, joint research and development, employment, consulting, etc. may all constitute external technology transfer, and you cannot just inspect the physical goods.

Measures that are currently suspended and cannot be displayed as effective regulations

Announcement No. 70 of 2025 stipulates that Nos. 55, 56, 57, 58, 61, and 62 will be suspended from 2025-11-07 to 2026-11-10.

AnnouncementOriginal expanded contentAs of 2026-08-23 Display mode

No. 62Rare earth technology 1E902.a/1E902.bPause, no effective warning
Suspension does not mean permanent abolition

Suspension of the announcement will not eliminate other existing obligations. For example, if products of holmium, erbium, thulium, europium, and ytterbium are listed in the 75 general export license tax numbers on this page, they still need to apply for a general export license. The system should set 2026-11-10 as the mandatory review date.

What to apply for? Who applies?

The applicant is anactual export operator in mainland China. Taiwanese buyers, purchasing agents or container warehouses cannot obtain licenses on behalf of Chinese exporters, but must provide real end-user, end-use and flow information.

situationDocuments/actions to be processed
Only 75 general license tax numbers were hit, and dual-use items were not hit.Apply for the "Export License of the People's Republic of China" from the Ministry of Commerce or the entrusted local commercial department, and clear the certificate with the customs.
The actual description hits 1C111 or 1C902~1C908Apply for the "People's Republic of China Export License for Dual-Use Items and Technologies" in the Ministry of Commerce system; after approval, you will be exempted from applying for a general export license.
Unable to determine whether it is a dual-use itemThe exporter first obtains complete composition, form, usage and end-user information, and submits business consultation to the Ministry of Commerce; the response is only for the submitted information, and the actual shipment must still be re-identified.
Technology May Hit 083201JThe general goods licensing process is stopped, and the technical content and transfer method are reviewed first; prohibited technologies cannot be replaced by ordinary export licenses.
involving permanent magnets, alloys, targets or mixturesPrepare ingredient analysis/test report, chemical formula or mixing method, product form, manufacturing process and processing level, BOM, catalog, photos and instructions for use.
All rare earth exportsKeep legal source certificates, contracts, invoices, batches and flow records; screen importers, end users, end uses and third-party resale.
Dual-use item permits cannot be reissued after customs declaration

The Ministry of Commerce clearly stated that failure to hold a valid dual-use item license for this batch at the time of customs declaration constitutes an unauthorized export; obtaining it later cannot change the nature of the violation.

Ordinary export licenses alone are not sufficient to export dual-use items

A regular Export License does not replace a dual-use item license. On the other hand, those who have been approved for dual-use item licenses can be exempted from applying for an ordinary license in accordance with the 2026 General Export License Announcement.

Sending to Taiwan: Eight entity restrictions to be determined based on end users

The Ministry of Commerce Announcement No. 35 of 2025 prohibits the export of dual-use items to the following eight Taiwan entities; ongoing relevant transactions should be stopped. In special circumstances, exporters must apply to the Ministry of Commerce by the export operator. This is not a blanket embargo on all Taiwanese buyers or all rare earth products.

Cannot use intermediary traders to change real end users

If a company in Hong Kong, Taiwan or a third place only receives the goods as an intermediate, the actual user is still a controlled entity and the transshipment restrictions will not be lifted.

After China approves export, Taiwan’s import regulations still need to be checked separately

China export licensing is only completed on the export side. Taiwanese importers should still comply with the actual CCC Code, uses, chemicals, radioactive, dual-use or other competent authority regulations.

2026 latest law enforcement: strategic mineral violation reporting system has been launched

The Ministry of Commerce Announcement No. 26 of 2026 has been implemented since 2026-07-01, strengthening the reporting and investigation of clues of violations of export control of dual-use items of strategic minerals.

Service providers may also be investigated and punished

The system cannot just alert exporters on the customs declaration page; suppliers, freight forwarders, delivery, customs declaration, platforms, financial flows and technical services should also keep records of compliance determination and abnormal transaction handling.

Before members place an order, ask the seller for these 10 items

You can ask the seller directly:
"Please provide the Chinese 10-code tax number of the actual shipment batch, complete ingredient testing, product form, processing level, legal source and end-use information, and confirm whether it hits 1C111.b.1.h, 1C902~1C908 or 083201J. If a dual-use item is hit, please obtain a dual-use item license from the actual export company in China; ordinary export license cannot be substituted."

FAQ

Does China now completely ban the export of rare earths?

No. Rare earths in most catalogs are subject to license management; if you hit 75 general license tax numbers, you must apply for a general export license, and if you hit 1C111 or 1C902~1C908, you need a dual-use item license. The real bans are mainly on 083201J technology, illegally sourced products and prohibitive end-user measures.

Does hitting 75 tax numbers mean it must be a dual-use item?

No. 75 items are in the general export license list. Dual-use items must be separately determined based on technical description, composition, form, use and user.

I have obtained a general export license. Can I export dysprosium oxide?

Still not enough. Dysprosium oxide and its mixture may hit 1C905.b; if it is a dual-use item, a dual-use item license must be obtained before customs declaration.

I have obtained an export license for dual-use items, do I still need a general export license?

According to the 2026 "Export License Management Goods Catalog" announcement, those who have been approved for export licenses for dual-use items and technologies are exempt from applying for ordinary export licenses.

Are rare earth contents below 1% unregulated?

It cannot be judged this way. Official examples of a desiccant containing 0.15% dysprosium oxide, a catalyst feed of 0.5% yttria, and an aluminum alloy powder containing 1% scandium may still be controlled.

Do all finished products containing rare earth magnets require a dual-use permit?

No. Controlled magnets, magnetic powder and simply processed magnetic components may be controlled; they have been fixed and integrated into motor rotors, stators, speakers, headphones, molded sensors or general magnetic consumer products. The official FAQ believes that they generally do not fall within the scope of Announcement No. 18.

Are all overseas products containing 0.1% of China’s rare earth elements now subject to control?

As of 2026-08-23 it cannot be marked as such. Announcement No. 61 of 2025, which stipulates the 0.1% extraterritorial ratio, has been suspended from Announcement No. 70 to 2026-11-10.

After the suspension of 1E902, can rare earth technology be freely exported?

No. The suspension of 1E902 in Announcement No. 62 will not invalidate 083201J in the current technology catalog; the export of Category 4 rare earth technologies is still prohibited.

Are the permanent magnets HS 850511/850519 automatically controlled?

It will not be automatically determined based on the tax number alone. It is necessary to check whether the magnetic material is samarium cobalt, iridium-containing neodymium-iron-boron or dysprosium-containing neodymium-iron-boron, and whether the product is magnet/magnetic powder, simple components or deep-processed finished products.

Who is responsible for applying for China’s rare earth export license?

The actual export operators in mainland China are responsible for the application. Overseas buyers should provide information on the real end user, purpose, location of use and resale flow.
