The 2025 customs data for Copper Ores and Concentrates (HS 26030000). While 61 countries supplied China last year, the Top 20 carried the market.
Take a look at the chart. Chile and Peru remain the undisputed titans of primary copper supply, but major contributions from Mexico, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia show a highly diversified and active global sourcing network. The total import value? A staggering 441 Billion RMB. 📊🌍
