U.S. imports of zinc oxide and zinc peroxide (HS 281700) totaled $27.9M in April 2026, traded with 21 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataZinc oxide is one of the most commercially versatile inorganic compounds, serving as a rubber vulcanization activator, UV-absorbing pigment in sunscreens and coatings, and a semiconductor material in electronics โ all classified under a single tariff line (2817000000). Mexico and Canada are the top US import sources, benefiting from USMCA preferential duty treatment that can meaningfully reduce landed cost compared to non-preferential origins. Particle size and surface treatment (standard vs. nano-grade) are critical commercial specifications that do not create separate HTS subdivisions but are essential for end-use compliance.

No โ both standard and nano-grade zinc oxide fall under the same tariff line (2817000000). However, nano-scale zinc oxide may trigger additional regulatory scrutiny under EPA TSCA nanomaterial reporting requirements, separate from customs classification.
Mexico and Canada are the leading suppliers, followed by the Netherlands, Peru, and Japan. USMCA eligibility for Mexican and Canadian shipments can provide a duty advantage over third-country sources.
