What is the US duty on cobalt acetate from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of 4.2 percent on HTS 2915.29.30.00, described as Cobalt acetates. The other rate on that line is 30 percent. The special-rate text does not name China.
The unit is kg. There is no footnote. HTS 2915.29 stores no rate. Additional duties are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has no heading 2915 row. This page is the United States file only. It does not state an Australian duty or a ChAFTA percent.

The description in the file is Cobalt acetates. The special-rate text is Free (A,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E,IL,JO,KR,MA,OM,P,PA,PE,S,SG). That text does not name China and does not include K. The extract does not use the words cobalt chloride, so this page does not state a rate for that name. Confirm the line before you quote. Section 301 stays on the USTR Section 301 page.

The other column is not shown. It does not apply to goods of China.
The parent line stores no rate. Sodium acetate is not 4.2 percent. Cupric acetate monohydrate stores Free and 25 percent, and its special rate is blank. The line described only as Other stores 2.8 percent, and its other column footnotes See 9903.90.08. That note is not on cobalt acetates. Its special-rate text includes K. The cobalt acetates special-rate text does not. This page does not price the note, and it does not treat 4.2 percent as a China total. Acetic acid, HTS 2915.21.00.00, stores 1.8 percent and 16 percent. The answer is on US duty on acetic acid from China.
Cobalt carbonates, HTS 2836.99.10.00, stores the same 4.2 percent and 30 percent. It is still a different line. The anti-dumping file stores heading 2836 on A-570-880. The product text is Barium carbonate, not cobalt acetates and not cobalt carbonates. duty_rate_percent is null. A heading tag is not this product. Cobalt oxides and hydroxides, HTS 2822.00.00, store 0.1 percent general and 1.7 percent other. The cobalt tetroxide suffix stores no rate. This page does not copy 4.2 percent onto the oxide line, and it does not copy 0.1 percent onto cobalt acetates. The anti-dumping file has no heading 2822 row.
The anti-dumping file, updated_at 2026-05-16T23:32:23.566Z, has no heading 2915 row. That gap is not a finding that no order exists. Check ACCESS before you treat it as a clearance.
