SMM news on June 22, customs data showed that in May 2026, China's imports of other antimony ores and their concentrates were approximately 10,972.27 mt, edging down MoM from April and remaining above the 10,000 mt mark. Looking at the sources of antimony ore imports, in May, the largest volume came from Thailand, with significant amounts also from Myanmar and Bolivia, and additionally some antimony ore imported from Africa. Market participants noted that recently, as overseas antimony product prices kept falling, the price spread between Chinese and overseas markets narrowed significantly, making it understandable that antimony ore imports increased.
