Customs data shows that China's imports of other antimony ores and concentrates reached 9,263.96 metric tons in March 2026, continuing to rise from the February import volume of 6,693.67 metric tons on a month-on-month basis, and surpassing the 9,000-metric-ton mark for the first time in recent years.
