U.S. exports of diamond dust and powder, natural and synthetic (HS 710510) totaled $5.1M in July 2026.
Importers of Diamond Dust and Powder, Natural and Synthetic paid $237K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 7.7% on $3.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Diamond Dust and Powder, Natural and Synthetic imports of $3.1M in July 2026 ran 22% above the year-to-date monthly average of $2.5M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataDiamond abrasive in powder and dust form — both natural and synthetic — is a critical industrial input for grinding wheels, lapping compounds, wire saws, and precision polishing operations across the semiconductor, optics, and stone-processing industries. The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading extensively by origin (natural vs. synthetic) and mesh size, with lines distinguishing natural powder (7105100011 for 80 mesh or finer, 7105100015 for over 80 mesh), metal-coated synthetic powder (7105100020), and uncoated synthetic powder by mesh size (7105100030 and 7105100050). China is by far the dominant supplier of synthetic diamond powder, and imports from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, making mesh-size and coating specifications commercially significant for both classification and duty-cost planning.

The US tariff lines under 7105.10 differentiate natural diamond powder at the 80-mesh threshold (7105100011 for 80 mesh or finer; 7105100015 for over 80 mesh) and similarly split uncoated synthetic powder (7105100030 for 80 mesh or finer; 7105100050 for over 80 mesh). Importers must specify the mesh or micron size on commercial documentation to support the correct 10-digit classification, as misclassification between these lines can affect duty liability.
Metal-coated synthetic diamond powder (7105100020) has individual diamond particles encapsulated in a metallic coating — typically nickel or copper — to improve bonding in resin or metal-matrix tools and to enhance thermal stability. Uncoated synthetic powder is classified under separate lines. The coating is a processing distinction that must be declared, as it determines the applicable tariff line and can affect Section 301 duty exposure.
