U.S. imports of antimony oxides (HS 282580) totaled $27.1M in July 2026, traded with 16 countries.
Importers of Antimony Oxides paid $65K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $634K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Antimony Oxides imports of $27.1M in July 2026 ran 16% below the year-to-date monthly average of $32.4M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataAntimony oxides — primarily antimony trioxide — serve as a flame-retardant synergist in plastics, textiles, and rubber, and as a catalyst in PET polyester production, making them a specialty industrial input with concentrated sourcing. Imports under this heading (2825800000) have drawn attention in the context of critical minerals policy, as global antimony supply chains are heavily influenced by Chinese smelter output even when the immediate US supplier is a European processor such as Belgium or France. Trade professionals should note that antimony compounds may be subject to Section 301 tariff considerations depending on the country of origin.

HTS heading 282580 covers all antimony oxides under a single 10-digit line (2825800000), so antimony trioxide (Sb₂O₃) and antimony pentoxide (Sb₂O₅) are both captured here. Importers should confirm the specific oxide form on commercial invoices and certificates of analysis, as end-use specifications for flame retardancy versus catalyst applications differ.
Belgium and France host major antimony smelting and refining operations that process ore and intermediate concentrates — much of it originating from mines in China and other producing countries — into refined antimony trioxide for export. This means the country of origin for duty purposes may be a European refiner even though the underlying raw material supply chain runs through Asia, a distinction relevant to Section 301 tariff exposure.
