Conflict Minerals Reporting (CMRT) EU & US

---

If your products contain tin, tantalum, tungsten, or gold (3TG), from electronics and jewelry to polymers, tools, automotive parts, packaging, and even clothing zippers, you are legally required to prove these metals are “conflict-free”.

• US Dodd-Frank Act Section 1502 forces every SEC-registered company (and their suppliers) to file an annual Conflict Minerals Report (CMR) and perform OECD-aligned due diligence. Miss the filing or source from a covered smelter and face shareholder lawsuits, SEC fines, NGO naming-and-shaming campaigns, and instant delisting by Apple, Intel, Tesla, Amazon, and most big buyers.

• EU Conflict Minerals Regulation (2017/821), fully enforceable since 2021, imposes mandatory supply-chain due diligence on all importers of 3TG ores, metals, and components above volume thresholds. From 2025 onwards, downstream companies (anyone placing 3TG-containing products on the EU market) must also collect and retain CMRTs and proof of responsible sourcing for 5 years. 

Non-compliance = customs seizures, fines up to 10% of global turnover, national penalties, and total market exclusion.

One red-flag smelter in your supply chain can trigger recalls, lost contracts, and viral activist attacks that adversely affect your brand overnight. Major retailers and OEMs now reject suppliers without clean CMRTs and third-party validated reports.

Professional conflict-minerals due diligence, CMRT consolidation, smelter validation, and audit-ready documentation are the only way to stay legal and keep selling. Don’t risk millions in revenue and your reputation. 

Perform a risk assessment  or Book a compliance review and secure your 3TG compliance before the next deadline or enforcement wave hits.
