What is the US duty on lithium hydroxide from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of 3.7 percent on lithium oxide and hydroxide together, HTS 2825.20.00.00. The file does not store a separate rate for hydroxide alone. That 3.7 percent is the general rate in the file. It is not a China total.
Additional duties on the line are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has no heading 2825 row and stores no cash-deposit percent for this product. This page is the United States file only. It does not state an Australian duty or a ChAFTA percent.

The unit on the line is kg. The line has no footnote and no statistical suffix. Heading 2825 in the file reads "Hydrazine and hydroxylamine and their inorganic salts; other inorganic bases; other metal oxides, hydroxides and peroxides:".
| HTS | Description | General rate | Special rate | Additional duties |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2825.20.00.00 | Lithium oxide and hydroxide | 3.7% | Free (A,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E,IL,JO,KR,MA,OM,P,PA,PE,S,SG) | blank |
The other column is not shown. It does not apply to goods of China.
The special-rate text does not name China. This page does not treat Free as a China rate, and it does not apply the 25 percent other rate to a China shipment. Do not paste 3.7 percent onto a different heading 2825 line. HTS 2825.10.00.00 is hydrazine and hydroxylamine at 3.7 percent. HTS 2825.40.00.00 is nickel oxides and hydroxides at Free. HTS 2825.30.00 is vanadium oxides and hydroxides at 5.5 percent, and its suffixes store blank rates.
Lithium carbonate is a different line. HTS 2836.91.00 stores 3.7 percent on lithium carbonates. The answer is on US duty on lithium carbonate from China. Section 301 stays on the USTR Section 301 page.
Anti-dumping file
Source: the US AD/CVD file, updated_at 2026-05-16T23:32:23.566Z, 154 entries, drawn from the Trade.gov China scope index. No row names lithium hydroxide, lithium oxide, or heading 2825. The file therefore stores no cash-deposit percent for this product. Check ACCESS before you treat that gap as a clearance. Cases A-570-194 and C-570-195 name active anode material (graphite for lithium-ion batteries) on heading 3801. They do not name lithium oxide or lithium hydroxide, and both store no cash-deposit percent.

What is the US duty on lithium hydroxide from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of 3.7 percent on lithium oxide and hydroxide together, HTS 2825.20.00.00. The file does not store a separate hydroxide rate.

Does the file split lithium oxide from lithium hydroxide?
No. HTS 2825.20.00.00 is one line, described as Lithium oxide and hydroxide. It has no statistical suffix. The file does not store a hydroxide-only percent.
Does the 3.7 percent include Section 301?
No. additional_duties on 2825.20.00.00 is blank. Section 301 list membership and the extra percent are not in this file. Read the line on hts.usitc.gov and the USTR Section 301 page before you quote.
Is there a US anti-dumping case on lithium hydroxide from China in this file?
The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has 154 entries and no row for lithium hydroxide, lithium oxide, or heading 2825. That gap is not a finding that no order exists. The cash-deposit rate, if a case covers the shipment, is on ACCESS.
