What is the US duty on propionic acid from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of 4.2 percent on HTS 2915.50.10.00, described as Propionic acid. The other rate on that line is 25 percent. The special-rate text does not name China.
The unit is kg. The other column footnotes See 9903.90.08. This page does not price that note. HTS 2915.50 stores no rate. Additional duties on the propionic acid 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.

Source: USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule export, updated_at 2026-09-25T11:27:06.251Z, from hts.usitc.gov exportList chapters 28 to 39. The public schedule is at hts.usitc.gov. HTS 2915.50.10.00 stores the unit kg. It has no statistical suffix. The special-rate text is Free (A,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E,IL,JO,KR,MA,OM,P,PA,PE,S,SG). That text does not name China. The extract does not use the words hydrogen bromide, so this page does not state a rate for that name and does not copy the hydrobromic acid line onto it.

The other column is not shown. It does not apply to goods of China.
The parent line stores no rate. The file does not put the words salts or esters on the aromatic line or on the other line. Those two lines are not the propionic acid line. The aromatic other rate is stored as 15.4¢/kg + 58%. This page does not turn that compound rate into dollars, and it does not copy 4.2 percent onto either line. The footnote See 9903.90.08 is on the other column of HTS 2915.50.10.00 only. The aromatic line and the other line have no footnote. The aromatic special-rate text includes K. The propionic acid special-rate text does not, and neither does the other line. This page does not treat 4.2 percent as a China total. Confirm the line on hts.usitc.gov before you quote. Section 301 stays on the USTR Section 301 page.
Two later lines use the word propionic and are not this product. HTS 2918.99.14.00 is 2-(4-Chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionic acid and its salts. It stores Free and an other rate of 15.4¢/kg + 40.5%. HTS 2918.99.18.00 names 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy) propionic acid among other products. It stores 6.5 percent general and an other rate of 15.4¢/kg + 40.5%. This page does not copy those rates onto propionic acid, and it does not turn them into dollars. Formic acid is a different heading 2915 line. The answer is on US duty on formic acid from China.
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.
