In July, China announced restrictions on the export of eight gallium and six germanium products.
Concerns have grown that China could further restrict exports of the strategic minerals after it limited exports of germanium and gallium.
Under the new rules, exporters of germanium and gallium products now need to obtain an export license for dual-use items and technologies, meaning those with potential military and civilian applications. Under the customs code for “germanium oxides and zirconium dioxide”, the data showed exports of 1,034 tons in August. It was not possible to verify if the shipments were made up of only zirconium dioxide or also included some germanium oxide.
