What is the US duty on n-butyl acetate from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of 5.5 percent on HTS 2915.33.00.00, described as n-Butyl acetate. The other rate on that line is 40 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 n-butyl 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 5.5 percent as a China total, and it does not copy 40 percent onto ethyl acetate. Vinyl acetate, HTS 2915.32.00.00, stores 3.8 percent general and 52 percent other. Formic acid stores 5.5 percent general and 22.5 percent other. That answer is on US duty on formic acid from China. Dinoseb acetate, HTS 2915.36.00.00, stores 5.5 percent general and an other rate of 15.4 cents per kg plus 57 percent. That other rate is not 40 percent. The footnote "See 9903.90.08." is on HTS 2915.29.50.00, not on n-butyl 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.

Does 5.5 percent include a China program?
No. The special-rate text is Free for a list of programs, and that list does not name China. This page does not treat 5.5 percent as a China total, and it does not add a Section 301 percent.

No. Ethyl acetate, HTS 2915.31.00.00, stores 3.7 percent general and 20.5 percent other. Vinyl acetate stores 3.8 percent general and 52 percent other. Heading 2915 stores no rate. The file does not copy 5.5 percent or 40 percent onto those lines.
Does another line also store 5.5 percent?
Yes. Formic acid stores 5.5 percent general and 22.5 percent other. Dinoseb acetate stores 5.5 percent general and an other rate of 15.4 cents per kg plus 57 percent. Those are not 40 percent, and they are not this line.
