Sourced & EmpiricalEmpirical intelligence on tin production concentration, sovereign trade controls, and import reliance.
How concentrated is global mine production of tin?▼
Global tin extraction is unconcentrated with a Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) of 1,426. The leading producer is China, representing 24% of global mine output, with 15 countries reporting commercial production, based on USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries (MCS 2026).
Which jurisdictions enforce export controls or bans on tin?▼
There are 1 documented sovereign export control regimes affecting tin trade corridors: Venezuela (Venezuela maintains an export ban covering Bauxite, cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, copper, gold, rhodium, silver, and thorium (2024), as compiled by the USGS from official and reported sources effective January 2026.).
What is the net import reliance and critical supply vulnerability for tin?▼
US net import reliance for tin is recorded at 77%, with primary foreign supply originating from Peru, Bolivia, Indonesia, Brazil. It is classified as an essential strategic mineral across US and Indian criticality lists.
