Detectives believe the materials may have been used in the manufacture of the Omagh bomb and other bombs used by the so-called Real IRA.
Garda and RUC officers arrested the 12 suspects in simultaneous dawn raids.
Six people are being held after a series of swoops in south Armagh, where detectives believe the bomb was assembled.
And six men from the Republic were also arrested in Co Monaghan yesterday morning and last night.
