China's Rare Earth Exports to the United States

China continued to restrict rare earth exports to the United States in April 2026. China’s exports of rare earth compounds and metals to the United States under tariff lines fully covered by the April 2025 export controls briefly recovered in March 2026 but fell again in April. China’s exports of rare earth magnets to the United States declined steadily from October 2025 through March 2026 before increasing in April. However, April 2026 magnet exports remained below the 2024 average.
