U.S. imports of other metal ore mining (NAICS 212290) totaled $239.4M in July 2026, traded with 51 countries.
Importers of Other Metal Ore Mining paid $1.7M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 3.8% on $44.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Other Metal Ore Mining imports of $239.4M in July 2026 ran 32% above the year-to-date monthly average of $181.9M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataExtraction operations targeting metallic minerals outside the principal ore categories — including manganese, titanium, chromium, and tungsten ores — are grouped here at the six-digit NAICS level. These materials are critical inputs for stainless steel, superalloys, and high-performance coatings, making supply-chain continuity a strategic concern for downstream manufacturers. Trade professionals should note that several of these specialty metals are subject to heightened scrutiny under US critical-minerals policy, which can affect import documentation and sourcing decisions.

Yes. Several metals captured here — including manganese, chromium, and tungsten — appear on the US government's critical minerals list. Importers of these ores may encounter additional documentation requirements, export controls from source countries, or policy-driven supply-chain due-diligence expectations from downstream customers.
NAICS codes describe domestic industry activity, while HTS codes govern import classification and duty assessment. An ore mined under NAICS 212290 will be classified at entry under the specific HTS chapter corresponding to its mineral type — the two systems do not map one-to-one, so importers must identify the correct HTS heading based on the ore's chemical composition.
