U.S. imports of silver powder (HS 710610) totaled $1.3M in April 2026, traded with 16 countries.
Importers of Silver Powder paid $105K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 9.5% on $1.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Silver Powder imports of $1.3M in April 2026 ran 61% below the year-to-date monthly average of $3.2M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFinely divided silver in powder form serves as a key conductive material in electronics manufacturing — particularly in photovoltaic cell pastes, multilayer ceramic capacitors, and conductive adhesives — making it a strategically important input for the solar and semiconductor industries. Classified under the single line 7106100000, silver powder is distinct from unwrought silver and semimanufactured forms by its particulate character and surface-area-driven functionality. Germany and Japan are the leading suppliers, consistent with their roles as producers of high-purity specialty metal powders for electronics applications.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Electronics-grade silver powder for conductive pastes typically requires purity of 99.9% or higher, with controlled particle size distributions (often in the 0.5–10 micron range) and specific surface-area characteristics to ensure consistent rheology and conductivity in the finished paste. These specifications are set by the paste formulator and are not defined by the HTS classification, but they are critical for qualifying a supplier and should be documented in purchase specifications.
Silver powder is characterized by its particulate, free-flowing form and is used as a raw material input rather than a shaped intermediate product. Semimanufactured silver (heading 7106.92) includes rolled sheet, strip, wire, and similar forms produced by mechanical working. If a shipment arrives as a compacted cake or pressed form that could be argued as a semimanufactured shape, importers should obtain a manufacturer's specification sheet confirming the product is intended and sold as powder to support the 7106100000 classification.
