On May 20, SMM reported that according to customs data, China's import volume of other antimony ores and concentrates reached 1,367.99 tons in April 2026. This marks a continued significant increase compared to the March import volume of 9,262.27 tons, and for the first time this year, the monthly import volume surpassed the 10,000-ton mark. Market participants noted that with the recent decline in international antimony product prices, the domestic-international price spread has narrowed considerably, making the rise in antimony ore imports understandable.
