What is the US duty on dichloromethane from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of 3.7 percent on HTS 2903.12.00.00, described as Dichloromethane (Methylene chloride). The other rate on that line is 25 percent. The special-rate text does not name China.
The other column has a footnote, "See 9903.90.08." This extract stops at chapter 39, so heading 9903 is not in the file and no rate from that note is stored. Heading 2903 stores no rate. Additional duties on the dichloromethane line are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 stores heading 2903 on hydrofluorocarbon blends and on R-134a, not on dichloromethane, and stores no cash-deposit percent on those rows. This page is the United States file only. It does not state an Australian duty or a ChAFTA percent.

The file uses both names on this one line. HTS 2903.12.00.00 stores the unit kg. It has no statistical suffix. The footnote is on the other column only. 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.
| HTS | Description | General rate | Additional duties |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2903 | Halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons | blank | blank |
| 2903.12.00.00 | Dichloromethane (Methylene chloride) | 3.7% | blank |
| 2903.13.00.00 | Chloroform (Trichloromethane) | 5.5% | blank |
The other column is not shown. It does not apply to goods of China.
This page does not treat 3.7 percent as a China total, and it does not invent a percent for 9903.90.08. Carbon tetrachloride, HTS 2903.14.00.00, stores 2.3 percent general and 8.5 percent other. That is not this line. The carbon tetrachloride answer is on US duty on carbon tetrachloride from China. Confirm the note on hts.usitc.gov before you quote. Section 301 stays on the USTR Section 301 page.
The anti-dumping file, updated_at 2026-05-16T23:32:23.566Z, lists A-570-028, product Hydrofluorocarbon blends, headings 2903 and 3824, and A-570-044, product 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (R-134a), heading 2903. Neither product text says dichloromethane or methylene chloride. Both rows set duty_rate_percent to null. The R-134a answer is on US duty on R-134a from China. Check ACCESS before you treat that gap as a clearance.

Frequently asked
What is the US duty on dichloromethane from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of 3.7 percent on HTS 2903.12.00.00, described as Dichloromethane (Methylene chloride). The other rate on that line is 25 percent. The other column has a footnote, "See 9903.90.08." Heading 9903 is not in this extract, so no rate from that note is stored. The special-rate text does not name China. Additional duties are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent.
Does the 3.7 percent include the footnote?
No. The footnote is on the other column only. This page does not invent a percent for 9903.90.08, and it does not add that note to 3.7 percent.
Do the heading 2903 anti-dumping rows cover dichloromethane?
The file stores two heading 2903 rows, and neither product text is dichloromethane. A-570-028 is hydrofluorocarbon blends. A-570-044 is 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a). Both store no cash-deposit percent. A heading tag is not this product.
Is chloroform the same rate?
No. Chloroform, HTS 2903.13.00.00, stores 5.5 percent general and 32 percent other. Heading 2903 stores no rate. The file does not copy 3.7 percent onto chloroform or onto the heading.
