Last updated: July 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.

Stibnite (Sb₂S₃) is the principal antimony sulfide mineral and the most commercially important antimony ore. It is classified under 2617100000 along with other antimony-bearing ores and concentrates. Importers should include mineral identification and assay data in entry documentation to support classification and valuation.
As of recent policy developments, antimony has been identified as a critical mineral of strategic concern to the US. Importers should monitor Federal Register notices and consult a licensed customs broker for any Section 232 or other trade-remedy actions that may be applied to antimony ores or concentrates, particularly given the concentration of global antimony refining capacity in China.
