We buy from producers in allied countries, import as the party of record, and deliver to your plant. One counterparty from the mine face to your gate.
American manufacturers depend on minerals the country barely produces, drawn from a handful of jurisdictions. That worked until export policy became a lever. It is now a board-level question at every plant that consumes these materials.

ROCHENOIR sits in one place in the chain: between an international producer and a United States consuming plant, absorbing the risk neither side wants to carry. We hold the producer relationship, we take title to the material, and we carry the delivery obligation.
We do not operate mines. We do not re-broker another trader's cargo. And we do not quote material we have not traced to its source.
Producer due diligence, sample assay, verification of specification, production capacity and export documentation capability.
Volume, pricing basis and Incoterm, payment instrument, and back-to-back quality and remedy provisions with both counterparties.
Inland haulage, vessel booking, marine insurance, export documentation and pre-shipment inspection.
United States customs entry and duty as importer of record, tariff classification, country-of-origin declaration and port release.
Inland transport to your plant on the agreed window, with certificate of analysis and a complete shipping file.
ROCHENOIR is privately held and intended to stay that way. We are not working toward an exit, which is why we can absorb the qualification cycles this industry actually takes and why we will decline a transaction that would damage a supplier or customer relationship.
If you are a producer, tell us what you have and the volumes you can hold. If you are a buyer, send us your specification and annual requirement. Start there.
