U.S. imports of iron oxides and hydroxides (synthetic pigments) (HS 282110) totaled $15.0M in April 2026, traded with 21 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSynthetic iron oxide pigments — classified by color as black (2821100010), red (2821100020), yellow (2821100030), and other (2821100040), with non-pigment iron oxides and hydroxides under 2821100050 — are among the most widely used inorganic colorants in construction materials, coatings, plastics, and cosmetics. Germany is the dominant US supplier, reflecting the long-established European synthetic iron oxide industry, with China and India also significant sources. Imports from China in this category have been subject to antidumping duty orders, making supplier origin and scope-of-order analysis a critical compliance step. The color-based subdivision at the 10-digit level means that a single mixed shipment containing multiple pigment colors may require separate line entries.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. The US has maintained antidumping duty orders on synthetic iron oxide pigments from China. Importers must obtain a scope ruling or confirm with a licensed customs broker whether their specific product falls within the order's scope, as the covered merchandise definition and applicable rates are subject to periodic administrative review.
The 10-digit US tariff schedule distinguishes black, red, yellow, and other synthetic iron oxide pigments as separate statistical reporting lines. If a shipment contains multiple pigment colors, each color must be reported on a separate entry line with its corresponding HTS code. Blended or mixed-color pigment preparations may instead classify under Chapter 32 as prepared pigments, so the form of the product at time of importation — whether a pure pigment or a formulated preparation — determines the correct heading.
