What is the US duty on styrene from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 stores a general rate of Free on styrene, HTS 2902.50.00.00. That Free is the general rate in the file. It is not a China total.
The other rate on the same line is 15.4 cents per kg plus 45 percent. Additional duties are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has no styrene 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 first row is styrene. The special-rate field is blank. This page does not read that blank as a China preference, does not treat Free as a China total, and does not apply the other rate of 15.4 cents per kg plus 45 percent to a China shipment. Ethylbenzene is also Free in the general column. Its other rate is 15.4 cents per kg plus 55 percent, not 45 percent.
Heading 3903, "Polymers of styrene, in primary forms:", stores no rate. The extract has no code 3903.1 and does not use the word polystyrene. HTS 3903.11.00.00, described only as Expandable, and HTS 3903.19.00.00, described only as Other, each store 6.5 percent general and an other rate of 15.4 cents per kg plus 46 percent. Styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers, HTS 3903.20.00.00, store 6.5 percent general and an other rate of 15.4 cents per kg plus 45.5 percent. ABS, HTS 3903.30.00.00, stores 6.5 percent general and an other rate of 15.4 cents per kg plus 47 percent. 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 product name includes styrene. No row uses heading 2902 or heading 3903. The file therefore stores no cash-deposit percent for styrene. Check ACCESS before you treat that gap as a clearance.
