What is the US duty on ethyl acetate from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of 3.7 percent on HTS 2915.31.00.00, described as Ethyl acetate. The other rate on that line is 20.5 percent. The special-rate text does not name China.
There is no footnote on that line. Heading 2915 stores no rate. Additional duties on the ethyl acetate line 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.

This page does not treat 3.7 percent as a China total, and it does not copy 20.5 percent onto vinyl acetate. n-Butyl acetate, HTS 2915.33.00.00, stores 5.5 percent general and 40 percent other. That answer is on US duty on n-butyl acetate from China. The footnote "See 9903.90.08." is on HTS 2915.29.50.00, not on ethyl acetate, and this page does not price it. Confirm the line 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, has no heading 2915 row. That gap is not a finding that no order exists. Check ACCESS before you treat it as a clearance.
