What is the US duty on perchloroethylene from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of 3.4 percent on HTS 2903.23.00.00, described as Tetrachloroethylene (Perchloroethylene). The other rate on that line is 25 percent. The special-rate text does not name China.
There is no footnote on that line. Heading 2903 stores no rate. Additional duties on the perchloroethylene line are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 stores heading 2903 on hydrofluorocarbon blends and on R-134a, not on tetrachloroethylene or perchloroethylene, and stores no cash-deposit percent on those rows. This page is the United States file only. It does not state an Australian duty or a ChAFTA percent.

| HTS | Description | General rate | Additional duties |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2903 | Halogenated derivatives of hydrocarbons | blank | blank |
| 2903.23.00.00 | Tetrachloroethylene (Perchloroethylene) | 3.4% | blank |
| 2903.22.00.00 | Trichloroethylene | 4.2% | blank |
The other column is not shown. It does not apply to goods of China.
This page does not treat 3.4 percent as a China total, and it does not copy 25 percent onto trichloroethylene. The trichloroethylene answer is on US duty on trichloroethylene from China. HTS 2903.29.00.00, described as Other, stores 5.5 percent general and 114.5 percent other. That is not this line. Dichloromethane stores a footnote to 9903.90.08. That footnote is not on this line, and it is not priced here. 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, lists A-570-028, product Hydrofluorocarbon blends, headings 2903 and 3824, and A-570-044, product 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (R-134a), heading 2903. Neither product text says tetrachloroethylene or perchloroethylene. Both rows set duty_rate_percent to null. The R-134a answer is on US duty on R-134a from China. Check ACCESS before you treat that gap as a clearance.

The other rate on that line is 25 percent. The special-rate text does not name China. There is no footnote. Additional duties are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent.
Does 3.4 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 3.4 percent as a China total, and it does not add a Section 301 percent.
Is trichloroethylene the same rate?
No. Trichloroethylene, HTS 2903.22.00.00, stores 4.2 percent general and 30 percent other. HTS 2903.29.00.00, described as Other, stores 5.5 percent general and 114.5 percent other. Heading 2903 stores no rate. The file does not copy 3.4 percent or 25 percent onto those lines.
Do the heading 2903 anti-dumping rows cover perchloroethylene?
The file stores two heading 2903 rows, and neither product text is tetrachloroethylene or perchloroethylene. A-570-028 is hydrofluorocarbon blends. A-570-044 is 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a). Both store no cash-deposit percent. A heading tag is not this product.
