China's exports of rare earth magnets to the US surge in June
CHINA, JUL 20 – China’s rare earth magnet exports to the US jumped 660% in June after a trade deal eased export restrictions, aiding recovery of supply chains for electric vehicles and wind turbines.
- China's exports of rare earth permanent magnets to the US surged in June 2025, rising to 353 metric tons from the world's largest producer.
- This surge followed earlier export restrictions imposed by China in April to retaliate against US tariffs, which caused sharp shipment declines in April and May.
- The rebound followed an agreement between Beijing and Washington reached recently, which eased rare earth export restrictions and scaled back certain technology limitations affecting shipments to China.
- June exports rose about 160% month-on-month to 3,188 tons globally, yet remained 38% lower than June 2024, according to data from Beijing's General Administration of Customs.
- The rise in shipments signals a partial recovery benefiting companies reliant on these key minerals for EVs and wind turbines, while analysts expect further export license approvals to improve flows in July.
