What is the US duty on hydrochloric acid from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of Free on HTS 2806.10.00.00, described as Hydrogen chloride (Hydrochloric acid). The other rate on that line is also Free. The special rate is blank. That Free general rate is not a China total.
The line has no footnote. Heading 2806 stores no rate. Chlorosulfuric acid, HTS 2806.20.00.00, stores 4.2 percent general and 25 percent other, and this page does not copy Free onto that line. Additional duties on the hydrochloric 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 2806 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.
