Battery Metals Export Finance From DRC To China
Structured export finance solutions for copper cathode, copper concentrate, cobalt and lithium shipments from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Chinese offtakers.
Exports of battery metals from DRC to China represent one of the most capital-intensive commodity corridors globally. Producers and traders require structured working capital, shipment finance and offtake-backed facilities to execute contracts efficiently.
Traditional banks often restrict exposure due to jurisdictional, compliance and operational risk. Private credit funds and specialty trade finance desks remain active when transactions are properly structured.
Eligible Commodities
Copper Cathode
Grade A cathode exports under long-term offtake contracts with established Chinese buyers.
Copper Concentrate
Shipment-backed facilities aligned with treatment and refining charge structures.
Cobalt
Inventory and shipment finance structured against verified assay and export documentation.
Lithium Bearing Materials
Structured pre-export and working capital facilities aligned with battery supply chain demand.
Typical Financing Structures
Facilities may include pre-export finance, revolving shipment-backed lines, structured commodity facilities and receivables finance tied to confirmed Chinese buyers.
Advance rates typically range between 60 percent and 85 percent of contract value depending on counterparty strength, collateral control and logistics framework.
