New export control regulations have been implemented one after another. Wonaixi has built a solid foundation for its overseas expansion through compliant operations.

On June 24th, the Ministry of Commerce issued Announcement No. 26 of 2026, starting from July 1st, to improve the handling of violations of the export control regulations for dual-use items of strategic minerals. It clearly specified 13 types of circumstances that can be reported, covering unauthorized exports, splitting to circumvent licensing, detouring through a third country for transshipment, and indirectly transferring controlled technologies through technical exchanges, etc. At the same time, the relevant announcement of the General Administration of Customs was also implemented, incorporating “control attribute identification” as a mandatory declaration element. Enterprises must clearly indicate in the customs declaration form whether the goods are controlled export items.

At the international level, the competition in the rare earth supply chain has intensified simultaneously. On June 22nd, the Ministry of Commerce added 10 US entities to the export control control list, including two rare earth enterprises, Magnit-Pas Materials Company and American Rare Earth Company; on June 29th, it announced the implementation of export control sanctions against 40 Japanese entities. Overseas, Lynas signed a cooperation agreement with Korea’s JS Link to build a 3,000-ton neodymium iron boron permanent magnet factory in Malaysia, and Australia’s Barkly Rare Earths launched a 10,000-meter rare earth drilling in the Northern Territory. The restructuring of the global rare earth industry chain has accelerated significantly.

Industry analysts believe that the implementation of these series of regulations marks that China’s strategic mineral export control has entered a new stage of “regularized and precise supervision” from “specialized crackdown”. For enterprises, export compliance has changed from an “optional” choice to a “mandatory” one. Especially for export businesses involving controlled items such as medium and heavy rare earth permanent magnets and samarium-cobalt magnets, enterprises must conduct strict component testing and declaration analysis on the content of dysprosium, samarium, and terbium.

Sichuan Wonaixi New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. attaches great importance to this. The relevant person in charge of the company pointed out that rare earth is a national strategic resource, and compliant operation is the lifeline of the long-term development of enterprises. Every enterprise has the responsibility to carry out production and business activities within the framework of laws and regulations.

Wonaixi mainly produces rare earth salt products such as lanthanum chloride, lanthanum nitrate, ammonium cerium nitrate, and high-purity cerium carbonate, which are widely used in electronic etching, optical polishing, catalytic materials, special ceramics, and new energy fields. The products are exported to more than 30 countries and regions in Europe, America, and Southeast Asia. The company strictly implements various management regulations on the production, sales, and export of rare earth products in daily operations and has established a full-process compliance system from raw material procurement to production process and product delivery.

“Under the new regulations, the more compliant enterprises will gain market trust.” Wonaixi will continue to adhere to the concept of “striving, specialization, innovation, and win-win”, integrating compliance awareness into every business， and winning the long-term trust of domestic and foreign customers with high-quality products and standardized services， and steadily advancing on the path of promoting the standardized development of the rare earth
