Product classification
HS code for Antimony metal: 8110.90
Antimony and articles thereof, wrought, other than waste and scrap.
Classification of antimony metal under HS 8110.90
Antimony metal is classified under HS code 8110.90, which specifically covers "wrought" antimony and articles thereof. This classification is determined by Chapter 81 of the Harmonized System, which is dedicated to other base metals and cermets. The distinction between wrought and unwrought is the primary factor here; 8110.90 is applied when the antimony has undergone mechanical working such as rolling, drawing, extruding, or forging after the initial smelting process. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), products must be classified according to their physical state and degree of manufacture. Since wrought antimony represents a more advanced stage of production than raw ingots, it is separated from the unwrought categories to allow for precise tariff application and trade monitoring. This code also includes finished articles made of antimony that are not specified elsewhere in the nomenclature.

Codes often confused with 8110.90
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 8110.10, which is reserved for unwrought antimony, including ingots and powders. Importers often fail to distinguish between a raw ingot (8110.10) and a processed bar (8110.90). Additionally, antimony ores and concentrates are often wrongly placed here instead of under HS code 2617.10. Another point of confusion is antimony oxides, which belong in the chemical chapter under HS code 2825.80.
Top exporters and importers of HS 811090 (the code used for antimony metal), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 811090 (the code used for antimony metal) in UN Comtrade data was Thailand, with 27% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Thailand, with 59% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).

Questions about antimony metal
What is the HS code for Antimony metal?
The HS code for Antimony metal is 811090 (Antimony and articles thereof; wrought, other than waste and scrap). The HS code for wrought antimony metal and its articles is 8110.90. If the metal is in its raw, unwrought form, the code is 8110.10.
How do I classify Antimony metal for customs?
Antimony metal is classified under HS code 811090 — Antimony and articles thereof; wrought, other than waste and scrap. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
What is the difference between wrought and unwrought antimony?
Unwrought antimony (8110.10) refers to primary forms like ingots, pigs, or powders resulting from smelting. Wrought antimony (8110.90) refers to metal that has been further worked into shapes like sheets, rods, or wire through mechanical processes.
Which countries are the top exporters of antimony metal (HS 811090)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 811090 (the code used for antimony metal) in UN Comtrade data were Thailand ($41M, 27% of world exports), Türkiye ($29M) and Tajikistan (about $23M). World exports came to about $153M, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
