- TransmissionStatutory defense procurement prohibitions divert Department of Defense magnet sourcing away from Chinese suppliers to domestic and allied critical material processing supply chains.
- SummaryChinese rare-earth magnets will be barred from U.S. military systems starting in 2027. Domestic processing and magnet manufacturing facilities are under construction in Oklahoma and South Carolina. Defense prime contractors must complete supply chain transitions prior to the 2027 enforcement deadline.
