File Introduction

This report provides a systematic analysis of the export activities of Yiyang Hongyuan Rare Earth Company Limited, located in Yiyang City, Hunan Province, China, from January 2015 to May 2025, based on detailed ocean bill of lading records from the international trade data platform ImportYeti. The report focuses on the supply chain network, major overseas customers, logistics patterns, cost components, and product composition of the company's rare earth-related products. It aims to offer primary data support and objective assessment for professionals concerned with critical mineral supply chain security, China's rare earth industry export dynamics, and international trade flows.

The report first presents the company's core operational metrics. Data shows that as of May 2025, Yiyang Hongyuan Rare Earth has completed a cumulative total of 232 sea export shipments, with an average load per shipment (TEU) of 3.02 containers and a monthly average load of 5.29 containers. Its most recent recorded shipment date is May 12, 2025. The report estimates its sea freight expenditure to be approximately $98,156 (with data coverage at 13%) and presents time-series charts illustrating the trend of its shipment volume over time, specifically marking external events such as COVID-19 lockdowns and Trump tariffs that may have impacted trade flows.

The customer analysis section reveals the company's diversified U.S. clientele, including well-known enterprises such as Ferro, Albemarle Catalysts, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, and Blue Marble Brands. Export products are primarily concentrated in the inorganic chemicals category, specifically various rare earth oxides and compounds, such as lanthanum oxide, cerium oxide, cerium carbonate, lanthanum chloride, samarium oxide, lutetium oxide, etc. Corresponding customs codes (HS Code) are concentrated under headings such as 2825.50 (oxides and hydroxides of copper), 2846.10 (compounds of cerium), and 2846.90 (other inorganic compounds). The report extracts specific Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes from bill of lading information, such as 2846.90.12 (other), 2846.10.9090 (cerium compounds), etc., and links them to specific bill of lading numbers and product descriptions.

The cost structure analysis involves exchange rate risk and labor cost comparisons. The report notes that the exchange rate is 7.29 CNY/USD and assesses potential losses due to exchange rate fluctuations. It also compares the estimated labor cost ranges for China and Vietnam in 2025. Geographically, 100% of the company's export shipments originate in Asia, with the vast majority (229 shipments) originating from China and 1 shipment from South Korea. The recent sea shipment details table provides specific bill of lading numbers, consignees, cargo weight, product names, and route information, such as a shipment of lanthanum oxide to the U.S. customer Ketjen Lle in April 2025.

Finally, the report lists other addresses and name variants used by the company and provides a tag cloud generated from product descriptions, highlighting core product keywords such as oxide, lanthanum, and cerium. This report is entirely based on traceable ocean shipping document data, providing an empirical foundation for understanding a specific rare earth production enterprise's integration into the international market, logistics chain, and product spectrum. It is applicable to fields such as supply chain risk management, market competitive intelligence, and trade policy research.
