Document 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 provided by the international trade data platform ImportYeti. The report focuses on the supply chain network, major overseas customers, logistics patterns, cost elements, and product composition of the company's rare earth-related products. It aims to provide 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 indicators. Data shows that as of May 2025, Yiyang Hongyuan Rare Earth has cumulatively completed 232 sea export shipments, with an average load per shipment (TEU) of 3.02 standard containers and a monthly average load of 5.29 standard containers. Its most recent recorded shipment date was May 12, 2025. The report estimates its sea freight expenditure to be approximately $98,156 (with a data coverage rate of 13%) and uses time-series charts to illustrate the trend of its shipment volume over time, specifically marking external events that may have impacted trade flows, such as "COVID-19 Lockdowns" and "Trump Tariffs."

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. The 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) and 2846.10.9090 (cerium compounds), and associates them with 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 Renminbi to U.S. Dollar 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 one shipment originating from South Korea. The recent sea shipment details provide 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 the international market embeddedness, logistics chain, and product spectrum of a specific rare earth production enterprise. It is applicable to fields such as supply chain risk management, market competitive intelligence, and trade policy research.
