U.S. imports of macadam of slag, dross or similar industrial waste (HS 251720) totaled $1.3M in April 2026, traded with 1 country.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSlag macadam is a recycled-material road-building product derived from industrial byproducts — blast furnace slag, dross, and similar waste — and may incorporate conventional aggregate from heading 251710. Its single tariff line (2517200000) reflects a narrow, well-defined product scope that distinguishes it from virgin-stone aggregates and tarred macadam. Canada dominates US supply, with India and Sweden as secondary sources. Buyers should confirm that the slag or dross origin documentation aligns with the industrial process claimed, as misidentification of the base material can trigger reclassification.

Slag macadam must be composed primarily of slag, dross, or similar industrial waste rather than quarried stone. If the product is predominantly natural stone with only incidental slag content, it would more likely classify under heading 251710 instead.
Canada is the leading supplier by a significant margin, with India and Sweden also among the recorded sources. The limited supplier base reflects the geographic concentration of steel and smelting industries that generate the necessary byproducts.
