Most is used near the pit, but Greek pumice crosses the Atlantic. Greece supplied 80% of US imports over 2021-24, mainly to east and Gulf coast markets that are far from western US mines. Iceland (9%) and Norway (4%) followed. Shipping by sea can be cheaper than trucking across the US. US net import reliance was 10% in 2025, and tariffs are free.
