Last updated: April 2026 dataRaw and processed industrial materials — excluding chemical products — imported into the United States under this end-use category encompass a wide range of mineral, metallic, and organic inputs used across manufacturing, construction, and energy sectors. The breadth of the category means that trade-remedy exposure varies considerably by specific material: some mineral inputs face antidumping or countervailing duty orders, while others are subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on origin. Importers should ensure that each material is classified at the correct HTS 10-digit level, as duty rates, quota applicability, and admissibility requirements differ substantially across the materials spectrum.

Importers should search the USITC and Commerce Department's AD/CVD order database using the specific HTS subheading and country of origin. AD/CVD orders are product- and country-specific, so a material that is duty-free from one origin may carry a significant additional duty from another. A licensed customs broker can assist with scope rulings if the product's coverage under an existing order is unclear.
Standard entry documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. Depending on the specific material, CBP may require a certificate of origin for preferential duty treatment, a mill certificate for metals, or a phytosanitary certificate for organic-origin materials. Some materials may also require an import permit or prior notice filing with a relevant agency.
