What is the US duty on sodium bicarbonate from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of Free on sodium hydrogencarbonate (sodium bicarbonate), HTS 2836.30.00.00. The file does not use the words baking soda. That Free is the general rate in the file. It is not a China total.
Additional duties on the line are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has no sodium bicarbonate 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.
The other rate on this line is also Free. The special-rate field is blank. This page does not read that blank as a China preference, and it does not treat Free as a China total.
HTS 2836.20.00.00 is disodium carbonate at 1.2 percent. The file does not call that line sodium bicarbonate. The answer is on US duty on soda ash from China. HTS 2836.40 has no rate. The rate sits on the children: HTS 2836.40.20.00, potassium hydrogencarbonate (potassium bicarbonate), stores 1.3 percent general and 4.8 percent other, and HTS 2836.40.10.00, dipotassium carbonate, stores 1.9 percent general and 6 percent other. Do not paste Free onto those lines. Section 301 stays on the USTR Section 301 page.
Anti-dumping file
Source: the US AD/CVD file, updated_at 2026-05-16T23:32:23.566Z, 154 entries, drawn from the Trade.gov China scope index. No row names sodium hydrogencarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda. The only heading 2836 row is anti-dumping case A-570-880, product Barium carbonate, exporting country China. That row sets duty_rate_percent to null. It is not a sodium bicarbonate case. The answer for that product is on US duty on barium carbonate from China. The file therefore stores no cash-deposit percent for sodium bicarbonate. Check ACCESS before you treat that gap as a clearance.
