Seb - to answer your questions:

1. Yes it is, see https://comexstat.mdic.gov.br/en/geral The NCM number is 72029300. CBMM is in Minas Gerais. I should have added that the Argonaut graph is based on Comex data plus an adjustment for transfer pricing. I use the Comex data to monitor price trends. Another free source I like is CMOC half yearly and annual reports - they give an "international market price" for FeNb in US$/kg.Nb:



2. I did not intend to imply that the difference in specifications is the only reason for the price difference - I should have been clearer - and gave it as an example of not comparing apples with apples. The reasons for the price difference are beyond my pay scale but I guess the nature of the Chinese FeNb market is important.. Ximei supplies FeNb products to Chinese standard GB/T 7737 - 2007.
