China's Ministry of Commerce has announced export license details on indium exports, and will require local commerce authorities in China to draw up a list of exporters of indium who meet the export requirements.
According to a statement announced late Friday, lead, zinc, copper, tin and antimony smelters which produce (minimum 99.993% indium content) indium metal and want to continue indium exports are required to have produced an average of 4 mt/year in the past three years. Zinc chemical enterprises are required to have at least 10 mt/year of indium metal output while individual recyclers need to have had an indium output of 15 mt/year or above during the previous three-year period.
All exporters are also required to have registered capital of at least Yuan 70 million ($9 million).
The MOC said commerce departments with local authorities are required to submit a written document before March 16, 2007 to China's Ministry of Commerce, China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals & Chemicals Importers & Exporters, and China Nonferrous Metals Industry on smelters who are eligible for exports of indium metals according to the requirements set by the Chinese authority.
China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals & Chemicals Importers & Exporters, and China Nonferrous Metals Industry are required to review the exporters' lists, and then hand in the documents to the Ministry of Commerce before March 20.
China's Ministry of Commerce will review the lists and will then announce the lists of exporters who are allowed to continue exports in 2007.
