What is the US duty on acetone from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 does not store one rate for acetone. HTS 2914.11, described as Acetone, stores no rate. HTS 2914.11.10.00, derived in whole or in part from cumene, stores a general rate of 5.5 percent. HTS 2914.11.50.00, other acetone, stores a general rate of Free. Neither figure is a China total.
Additional duties on both lines are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has no acetone 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 unit on both rated lines is kg. Neither line has a statistical suffix or a footnote. Heading 2914 in the file reads "Ketones and quinones, whether or not with other oxygen function, and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives:". The extract has no code 2914.1.

| 2914.11 | Acetone: | blank | blank | blank |

The other column is not shown. It does not apply to goods of China.
The special-rate text on the cumene line does not name China. The special-rate field on other acetone is blank. This page does not read that blank as a China preference, does not treat Free as a China total, and does not apply the 20 percent other rate, or the other rate of 15.4 cents per kg plus 60 percent, to a China shipment.
Butanone (methyl ethyl ketone), HTS 2914.12.00.00, stores 3.1 percent general and 20 percent other. 4-Methylpentan-2-one (methyl isobutyl ketone), HTS 2914.13.00.00, stores 4 percent general and 20 percent other. Neither line is acetone. Section 301 stays on the USTR Section 301 page.
Anti-dumping file
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 product name includes acetone or cumene. No row uses heading 2914. The file therefore stores no cash-deposit percent for acetone. Check ACCESS before you treat that gap as a clearance.
Frequently asked
What is the US duty on acetone from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 does not store one acetone rate. HTS 2914.11, described as Acetone, stores no rate. HTS 2914.11.10.00, derived in whole or in part from cumene, stores a general rate of 5.5 percent. HTS 2914.11.50.00, other acetone, stores a general rate of Free. Neither figure is a China total. Additional duties on both lines are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file has no acetone row and stores no cash-deposit percent for it.
Does either rate include Section 301?
No. additional_duties is blank on 2914.11.10.00 and on 2914.11.50.00. Section 301 list membership and the extra percent are not in this file. Read the line on hts.usitc.gov and the USTR Section 301 page before you quote.
Is methyl ethyl ketone the same line?
No. Butanone (methyl ethyl ketone) is HTS 2914.12.00.00 and stores a general rate of 3.1 percent, not 5.5 percent and not Free. Methyl isobutyl ketone, HTS 2914.13.00.00, stores 4 percent general. Do not paste an acetone rate onto those lines.
Is there a US anti-dumping case on acetone from China in this file?
The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has no row for acetone, cumene, or heading 2914. That gap is not a finding that no order exists. The cash-deposit rate, if a case covers the shipment, is on ACCESS.
