Last updated: April 2026 dataAntimony trioxide — the most commercially significant derivative — is widely used as a flame-retardant synergist in plastics, textiles, and electronics, but this heading captures the metal itself and its articles, including waste and scrap, at the primary and semi-fabricated stage. China has historically dominated global antimony production and refining, creating a concentrated supply chain that has drawn attention in US critical-mineral policy discussions. Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-origin goods are a live consideration for importers sourcing antimony metal or articles from China, and buyers should verify applicability at the specific HTS line.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Section 301 tariffs apply broadly to goods of Chinese origin across many HTS lines, and antimony metal and articles may be covered depending on the specific tariff line. Importers should verify the applicable 10-digit HTS code and check the current Section 301 list — which has been subject to ongoing review and modification — before finalizing landed-cost calculations.
This heading covers antimony in metallic form — unwrought metal, articles, waste, and scrap — while antimony compounds such as antimony trioxide or antimony trisulfide are classified separately as inorganic chemicals. The physical and chemical form of the imported material, confirmed by a certificate of analysis, is the key to correct classification.
