What is the US duty on adipic acid from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of 6.5% on HTS 2917.12.10.00, described as adipic acid. The other rate on that line is 15.4¢/kg + 63%. The special rate names other countries and does not name China. That 6.5% is not a China total.
Heading 2917.12 stores no rate. Additional duties on the adipic-acid line are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has no heading 2917 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.
