Magnet Stockholding

Secure your magnet supply & avoid export license delays.

Bring Certainty Back To Your Magnet Supply

Since April 2025, the Chinese government has required export licenses for magnets containing certain rare earth elements. The rules mainly affect Samarium Cobalt and certain high-grade Neodymium magnets, creating long lead times. Export licenses can take 45+ days to process, and every shipment requires new paperwork.

With Goudsmit UK, you don’t need to face that uncertainty. By placing a bulk order, your magnets are imported under a single license and stored safely in our UK facilities — including warehouses in mainland UK and Northern Ireland. From there, stock can be released on demand, with delivery in as little as 24 hours from the UK and Ireland.

You can also benefit from consigned stock options, the ability to lock in material costs and exchange rates for price stability, and bulk order pricing with reduced per-unit costs.
