Uranium Ores and Concentrates

Uranium imports are regulated primarily by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission under the Atomic Energy Act, and the Department of Energy may impose additional conditions. Importers must hold appropriate NRC licenses, and certain country-of-origin restrictions or bilateral agreements may limit eligible suppliers. Engaging a customs broker with nuclear commodity experience is essential given the complexity of admissibility requirements.

Australia and Namibia are the leading recorded suppliers under heading 261210, with the Netherlands also appearing among sources — likely reflecting re-export or trading-hub activity. Supply diversification is a recurring concern for US nuclear utilities given geopolitical sensitivities around uranium origin.
