As a leading supplier to USA, we export high-grade Antimony Ore structured directly for your industrial requirements. The United States is a strategic growth corridor for non-Chinese critical minerals—specifically High-Grade Antimony Ore (Stibnite, 35%–55% Sb), API-grade Barite, and Acid-grade Fluorite—alongside Asbestos-Free Talc and Himalayan Pink Salt. We execute containerized shipments compliant with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), ISF 10+2, TSCA, and ASTM standards.Indus Ores supplies premium, conflict-free Antimony Ore (Stibnite, Sb2S3) sourced directly from the high-grade hydrothermal vein deposits of Chitral (KPK) and Qila Abdullah / Kharan (Balochistan), Pakistan. Following global antimony export restrictions, Pakistan has emerged as a vital non-Chinese supply chain alternative for US, European, Japanese, and South Korean buyers. Our stibnite ore is meticulously hand-sorted and crushed for Antimony Trioxide (ATO) flame retardant synthesis, defense & ammunition primer alloys, lead-acid battery grids, and solar photovoltaic (PV) glass fining, guaranteeing ultra-low Arsenic, Lead, and Mercury impurities.
How to import Antimony Ore from Pakistan to USA? Indus Minerals exports high-grade Antimony Ore to USA via Karachi Port. The standard minimum order quantity is 20–25 MT (1x20ft FCL Trial) / 100–500 MT/Month Contract with a typical lead time of 32–45 Days (US East & Gulf Coast via Suez) / 40–50 Days (US West Coast) to major ports such as Houston, TX, Savannah, GA, Baltimore, MD, Newark / NY, Los Angeles, CA. Payment terms are 100% Irrevocable L/C at Sight (US Prime Bank) or T/T against B/L & SGS COA. All shipments meet US HTS 2617.10.0000 (0% Duty on Raw Antimony Ore), CBP ISF 10+2 Filing, SGS Pre-Shipment Assay & Non-Radioactivity Certificate.
Following export licensing restrictions from traditional dominant suppliers, US manufacturers of Antimony Trioxide (ATO) flame retardants, lead-acid industrial & automotive batteries, solar PV glass, and defense-grade antimonial lead alloys require traceable, non-Chinese stibnite feedstock. Indus Minerals provides direct mine-to-port supply from Pakistan's Chitral (KPK) and Balochistan hydrothermal antimony belts.
