Important Notice: Exporting Magnets from China to India - Dual Authentication Required

Introduction:

If you are purchasing magnetic materials from China that contain medium and heavy rare earth elements (such as Dysprosium [Dy] and Terbium [Tb]), including Sintered NdFeB Magnets and Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) Magnets, please be aware that new export control procedures are now in effect. The Chinese government mandates a strict "Dual Authentication" process for shipments to India only. Other destinations are currently not required to complete this process.
