"Smuggling" as a legal concept charges, in the rare earth business circles, became vocabulary? Recently, the state of the rare earth industry, strike hard, some responsible persons suspected of smuggling away cooperate with the investigation by the local public security bureau.

"This is not new as long as there are profits, someone will take the risk." One yuan rare earth industry insiders told reporters.

Rare Earth Industry Association, Ma Rongzhang publicly stated last year, in 2011, foreign import statistics than the number of rare earth exports to China Customs statistics 1.2 times higher than the number that smuggling is a normal amount of 120% of exports, "the amount of smuggling now may not be so high, but there must smuggling. "

Recently, this reporter unannounced visits to an export freight business, I learned the details of their smuggling of rare earths.

Profit more than 50% to avoid customs

"This circle where, if strict accordance with national policies define words, many places are" unclean "." The rare earth industry, told reporters the case said.

He said "no clean", referring to the choice of private mines, smelting separation production targets over production (industry, also known as a side job), there is smuggling.

Why would smuggling of rare earth Eliminated? The industry believes that, because of "profit dictates."

At present, the domestic franchise invoice no private mining of rare earth crackdown increasing separation midstream smelting enterprises will not rush to use this limelight private mines, traders cautious hoard goods, not domestic sales. The export, and if through customs tax, the profit will be greatly reduced; relationship if exports through intermediaries, profits can guarantee at least 50%.

Cerium oxide to heading 2,846,101,000 example, each kg of 15% export duty, value added tax of 17%. According to information provided by rivers Consulting, June ceria average export price of 8.69 U.S. dollars / kg, or about 53,000 yuan / ton. The cerium oxide in the domestic price, but is 2.6 yuan / ton, the export price doubled.

According to the sources, foreign businessmen will understand the domestic rare earth price quotes. If they think $ 8.69 / kg price is too high, demand for lower prices, then, domestic traders to make up the difference out of pocket only, which is obviously not the pen good deal. However, to avoid customs not the same, domestic traders can use more than 30,000 yuan / ton price to sell, some of fees paid to brokers to ensure their own profits at least 50% or more. Generate demand for such smuggling.

Rare is "entrained" exit

Wong (sound) is a person in charge of export freight companies, although quite young, but talk about "sensitive goods" business (smuggling of rare earth) is very skilled.

"You want to export cerium oxide, lanthanum, cerium carbonate such over 20,000 yuan / ton cheaper rare earth, we have to charge 3,500 yuan per ton fee, if those are the heavy rare earth oxide, erbium, fees naturally higher." Mr. Huang on the "Daily Economic News" reporter, said, "This price is not high, we will earn 600 yuan per ton to 800 yuan, if large, it can be considered favorable."

Wong export freight companies where both agents clothing, bags such common goods export declaration, but also agents of rare earth, charcoal such "sensitive goods." They are mainly from the Guangdong Whampoa of Hong Kong and Shenzhen, Shekou Port exit, the containers transported to Hong Kong and then help mainland exporters way of fixed positions, shipped overseas buyers.

"Domestic transportation costs requires companies themselves out." Wong said, they are responsible for re-export from the Mainland to Hong Kong and then shipped to foreign link.

He knew entrainment these "sensitive goods" out off the seriousness, but he very confidently said, "We are one day made 3,4 units Hong Kong car (Hong Kong and mainland customs clearance logistics vehicles), rare earth shipments of up to 10 a day ton. "loaded more than one company per container cargo. He is 20 tons per day, for example, 18 tons loaded textile toys, entrainment of two tons of rare earth, rare earth to the declaration on behalf of talc.

The industry had told reporters that this is a means of smuggling of rare earth. Price of up to several hundred thousand tons of heavy rare earths, mixed together with flour or talcum powder to bypass customs inspection, the flow of the customs, and then refined in a foreign country. Colorless, odorless powder mix together, it is difficult to distinguish.

Mr Wong said, that line is very risky, a Hong Kong car one million yuan, if a problem of domestic cars and drivers have been seized, the driver and then go take a couple of years in prison, then the company will pay nearly $ 200 million.

"These private live, we can do it, you can not do what we do not hard embrace." Wong said, "within its capabilities, we can promise to the customer, such as one day out of a few tons of cargo can, if dozens of tons of goods to be once we finished out, it certainly can not do. "

For the recent community reflects the outstanding problems, the Ministry decided to launch a project of rare earth mining and construction recycling of rare earth resources comprehensive investigation.

Land and Resources recently issued "to carry out construction projects of rare earth rare earth mining and resource recycling comprehensive investigation notice" locking three main tasks: First, a comprehensive investigation of the illegal exploitation of such acts. Focused on investigating illegal poaching, illegal activities such as exploration and exploitation of undocumented; prevent special rectification actions such as rare earth minerals mine has been closed during the resurgence. Second, a comprehensive inspection of the situation of rare earth mining enterprises. Severely dealt with cross-border exploitation, exploitation and violations of ultra indicators environmental protection, safety production-related provisions of the act, the discovery of the problem rectification. Third, a comprehensive inventory of rare earth resources, recycling of construction projects the situation.

Since 2007, China began to implement mandatory plan for rare earth production and begin to reduce exports of rare earths. This caused the United States and Europe, Japan and other Western countries, the strong reaction, have to "China has the world's most rare earth reserves," claimed a Chinese rare earth export restrictions to cancel.

However, the U.S. authorities have recently launched a report showed that the "Chinese control the global rare earths" untrue accusations, in fact, China's rare earth reserves account for only one-third of the world, while the United States and Europe equally large quantity of rare earth reserves, but they are "frozen" together.

In order to achieve national emission standards for pollutants rare, with good dam sewage treatment, recently, the expert discussion, decided to launch the Baotou Rare Earth High-salt zero discharge of wastewater treatment and recycling is in a pilot project.

End of this year, promised to stop the Baotou Steel Rare-Earth smelting wastewater discharge tailings deadline is approaching, before this, measures must be taken on the Baotou Rare Earth saponification wastewater, resulting separation of rare earth smelting waste water, waste, exhaust gas recycling, to achieve zero discharge of wastewater. Environmental and Chemical Engineering, Yanshan University College Professor Han Shumin smelter on the Baotou Rare Earth High-salt zero discharge of wastewater treatment and utilization projects in the test loop technical solutions are considered, the process salt conversion rate, sodium chloride reuse do saponifier; bicarbonate and low cost of raw materials; process is simple, stable and reliable; whole process carried out in a sealed container, no secondary pollution, reliable technology is feasible. Baotou Steel Rare Earth management and technical staff after careful argumentation and discussion, consensus, pilot testing will soon begin.
