You have been approached by intermediaries who wanted an exclusive and then went quiet. What you want to know is whether we can pay and whether we can place volume. Ask us both directly.
You sell to a United States company. We handle import entry, duty, tariff classification, domestic logistics and the customer relationship.
Your material goes to a named consuming plant. We are not building a position to flip into the spot market.
We are working toward recurring offtake tied to qualified customers, which is the kind of volume that justifies your production planning.
One commercial counterparty, one set of documents, one payment obligation.
We are not a mining company and we do not provide development or equity capital. That is not a lack of interest in our suppliers, it is a description of what we are good at.
An offtake commitment from a credible United States buyer is often what allows a producer to raise capital from someone else. It costs us no capital and it is the most useful thing we can give you. Where a producer has no representation in North America, we are open to a structured arrangement for the market.
Trade flows in several critical minerals have been rearranged by export controls, and material now moves through countries that do not produce it. As importer of record we make the country-of-origin declaration and we carry the liability for it. We will ask you for production records, we will want to visit the operation, and where processing has happened outside the country of extraction we will want a written origin opinion from customs counsel. Serious producers find this reassuring.
