Last updated: April 2026 dataUranium ores and concentrates — commonly traded as yellowcake (uranium oxide concentrate) — are subject to a specialized regulatory framework that goes well beyond standard customs entry, requiring Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensing for import and strict compliance with nuclear non-proliferation controls. The single 10-digit line 2612100000 captures all forms under this heading, with no further US tariff-schedule subdivision. Australia and Namibia are the leading sources entering the US market, reflecting their status as major uranium-producing nations with established export licensing regimes.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Importers must hold a specific license issued by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) authorizing receipt of source material. Shipments are also subject to Department of Energy and Department of Commerce export/import controls under nuclear non-proliferation frameworks, and the exporting country must have an applicable nuclear cooperation agreement (123 Agreement) with the United States.
Not necessarily. The Netherlands is a major hub for uranium conversion and trading operations, so entries attributed to the Netherlands often reflect re-exports or commercial transactions routed through Dutch trading entities rather than domestic mine production.
