U.S. exports of natural steatite (talc), not crushed or powdered (HS 252610) totaled $525K in July 2026, traded with 7 countries.
Last updated: July 2026 dataLump or block-form natural steatite — the raw, unprocessed precursor to talc — enters the US under a single tariff line (2526100000) and is primarily consumed by the ceramics, refractory, and electrical insulation industries before further milling. Pakistan is the leading supplier to the US market, with China and Taiwan also significant sources. Because this form is not yet crushed or powdered, it is distinct from processed talc and typically requires less stringent particle-specification documentation at entry, though origin marking and country-of-origin declarations remain essential.

HTS 252610 covers steatite and talc in its natural, unprocessed state — not crushed and not powdered. Once the material has been crushed or reduced to powder, it falls under HTS 252620. The physical form at the time of importation determines classification, so importers should ensure invoices and packing lists accurately describe the product's condition.
Natural steatite from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify current applicability with a licensed customs broker, as product-specific exclusions and list assignments can affect the duty outcome.
