What is the US duty on acetic acid from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of 1.8 percent on acetic acid, HTS 2915.21.00.00. That is the general rate in the file. It is not a China total.
Additional duties on the line are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has no acetic acid row and stores no cash-deposit percent for it. This page is the United States file only. It does not state an Australian duty or a ChAFTA percent.

The special-rate text does not name China. This page does not treat Free as a China rate, and it does not apply the 16 percent other rate to a China shipment.
HTS 2915.24.00.00 is acetic anhydride at 3.5 percent. HTS 2915.29.20.00 is sodium acetate at 3.7 percent. HTS 2915.29.50.00 is described only as Other and stores 2.8 percent, with a footnote on the other column. None of those lines is acetic acid. Section 301 stays on the USTR Section 301 page.

Source: the US AD/CVD file, updated_at 2026-05-16T23:32:23.566Z, 154 entries, drawn from the Trade.gov China scope index. No row names acetic acid, acetic anhydride, or heading 2915. The file therefore stores no cash-deposit percent for this product. Check ACCESS before you treat that gap as a clearance.
