What is the US duty on maleic anhydride from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 does not store one rate. HTS 2917.14, described as Maleic anhydride, stores no rate. HTS 2917.14.10.00, derived in whole or in part from benzene or other aromatic hydrocarbons, stores 6.5 percent general. HTS 2917.14.50.00, other maleic anhydride, stores 4.2 percent general.
The other rate on the benzene-derived line is 15.4 cents per kg plus 50 percent. The other rate on the other line is 25 percent. Neither special-rate text names China. Neither line has a footnote. Additional duties are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has no heading 2917 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.

The other column is not shown. It does not apply to goods of China.
This page does not copy 6.5 percent onto the heading or onto the other line, and it does not turn 15.4 cents per kg plus 50 percent into a dollar figure. Maleic acid, HTS 2917.19.23.00, is a different line at 6.5 percent general and 15.4 cents per kg plus 53.5 percent other. 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 2917 row. That gap is not a finding that no order exists. Check ACCESS before you treat it as a clearance. Adipic acid is also heading 2917 and is not this product. The answer is on US duty on adipic acid from China.

Frequently asked
What is the US duty on maleic anhydride from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 does not store one rate for maleic anhydride. HTS 2917.14 stores no rate. HTS 2917.14.10.00, derived in whole or in part from benzene or other aromatic hydrocarbons, stores 6.5 percent general and an other rate of 15.4 cents per kg plus 50 percent. HTS 2917.14.50.00, other maleic anhydride, stores 4.2 percent general and 25 percent other. Neither special-rate text names China. Neither line has a footnote. Additional duties are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file has no heading 2917 row.
Is maleic acid the same line?
No. Maleic acid, HTS 2917.19.23.00, stores 6.5 percent general and an other rate of 15.4 cents per kg plus 53.5 percent. That is not maleic anhydride. The heading 2917.14 does not store the 6.5 percent from the benzene-derived line.
Does this page turn the compound other rate into dollars?
No. The other rate on 2917.14.10.00 is stored as text, 15.4 cents per kg plus 50 percent. This page does not add that to 6.5 percent and does not price a shipment.
Is there a US anti-dumping case on maleic anhydride from China in this file?
The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has 154 entries and no row whose HS codes start with 2917. That gap is not a finding that no order exists. The cash-deposit rate, if a case covers the shipment, is on ACCESS.
