What is the US duty on n-butyl alcohol from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of 5.5 percent on HTS 2905.13.00.00, described as Butan-1-ol (n-Butyl alcohol). The other rate on that line is 50.5 percent. The special-rate text does not name China.
There is no footnote on that line. Heading 2905 stores no rate. Additional duties on the n-butyl alcohol line are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has no heading 2905 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 5.5 percent onto tert-butyl alcohol. Other butanols, HTS 2905.14, stores no rate. HTS 2905.14.50 stores 5.5 percent general and 50.5 percent other, but that line is described as Other. Its suffixes, including isobutyl alcohol, store no rate. n-Butyl acetate stores 5.5 percent general and 40 percent other, not 50.5 percent. That answer is on US duty on n-butyl acetate from China. 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 2905 row. That gap is not a finding that no order exists. Check ACCESS before you treat it as a clearance.
