What is the US duty on cobalt chloride from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 does not use the words cobalt chloride. This page does not state a rate for that name.
HTS 2827.39.60.00 is described only as Of cobalt. It stores 4.2 percent general and 30 percent other. Its other column footnotes See 9903.90.08. This page does not call that line cobalt chloride, and it does not price the note. Heading 2827 stores no rate. The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has no heading 2827 row. This file does not store a Section 301 percent for a name it does not list. This page is the United States file only. It does not state an Australian duty or a ChAFTA percent.

Source: USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule export, updated_at 2026-09-25T11:27:06.251Z, from hts.usitc.gov exportList chapters 28 to 39. The public schedule is at hts.usitc.gov. A search of the descriptions does not find cobalt chloride. The Of cobalt line stores the unit kg. Its 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. Confirm the live schedule 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 heading stores no rate. HTS 2827.39 stores no rate. The Of cobalt description is not the words cobalt chloride, so this page does not use 4.2 percent or 30 percent as a rate for that name. The other column on the Of cobalt line footnotes See 9903.90.08. This page does not price that note. Calcium chloride is a name the file does store. It stores Free and Free, and its other column has the same note. This page does not copy Free onto the missing name, and it does not treat Free as a China total.
Cobalt acetates stores the same 4.2 percent and 30 percent and has no footnote. It is a different description. The answer is on US duty on cobalt acetate from China. This page does not copy the acetate line onto cobalt chloride, and it does not copy the Of cobalt footnote onto cobalt acetates.
The anti-dumping file, updated_at 2026-05-16T23:32:23.566Z, has no heading 2827 row. That gap is not a finding that no order exists. Check ACCESS before you treat it as a clearance.
