Antimony and articles thereof; wrought, other than waste and scrap

HS v2022 Code: 811090

About antimony and articles thereof; wrought, other than waste and scrap

HS code 811090 covers antimony and articles made from antimony, excluding waste and scrap. Antimony is a silvery-white metalloid that is widely used in a variety of industrial applications, including the production of lead-acid batteries, flame retardants, and semiconductor devices. As a key component in many critical industries, the antimony trade plays an important role in the global economy.

Production process

Antimony is primarily produced through the smelting of antimony-containing ores. The ore is first crushed and concentrated, then smelted in a furnace to extract the pure antimony metal. The smelted antimony can then be further refined and processed into various antimony-based products, such as antimony oxide, antimony sulfide, and antimony alloys.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the antimony industry include antimony-containing ores, as well as energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, to power the smelting and refining processes. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery, such as furnaces, crushers, and purification systems, to extract and process the antimony.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the antimony industry include pure antimony metal, as well as various antimony-based compounds and alloys. These outputs are then used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries, such as the 851220 lead-acid battery industry, the 854389 semiconductor industry, and the 380610 flame retardant industry.
