Last updated: August 2026 dataAntimony ores and concentrates — classified entirely under the single line 2617100000 — feed smelters producing antimony trioxide and antimony metal, which are used as flame retardants, lead-acid battery hardeners, and semiconductor dopants. Mexico leads US imports under this heading, followed by India and Kazakhstan. Antimony has been designated a critical mineral by the US government, and given that global refined antimony production is heavily concentrated in China, the ore and concentrate trade from non-Chinese sources carries strategic supply-chain significance for US manufacturers.
