Subheading 3 of 13 in heading 2917
Subheading 291719 · $8.9M of $104.1M
U.S. imports of acyclic polycarboxylic acids, anhydrides, and derivatives (nesoi) (HS 291719) totaled $8.9M in July 2026, traded with 20 countries.
Importers of Acyclic Polycarboxylic Acids, Anhydrides, and Derivatives (NESOI) paid $645K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 9.3% on $6.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Acyclic Polycarboxylic Acids, Anhydrides, and Derivatives (NESOI) imports of $8.9M in July 2026 ran 14% above the year-to-date monthly average of $7.8M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFumaric acid, malonic acid, glutaric acid, ethylene brassylate, and a broad range of other acyclic polycarboxylic acids and their derivatives fall into this residual heading when they are not specifically enumerated elsewhere in Chapter 29. The US schedule is unusually granular here, with fifteen 10-digit lines distinguishing aromatic-derived variants, plasticizer subsets, and specific named compounds such as ferrous fumarate (2917191000) and malonic acid (2917193500). China is the leading supplier, followed by Canada and India, and imports from China across multiple lines in this heading are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Correct classification requires careful attention to whether the compound is aromatic-derived and whether it falls within a US schedule note.

The split hinges on production route: 2917191500 covers fumaric acid derived from aromatic hydrocarbons, 2917191700 covers fumaric acid not so derived, and 2917191600 is a separate line for fumaric acid (trans-butenedioic acid) as defined in the schedule. Importers should obtain a manufacturer's declaration confirming the feedstock and synthesis pathway, and consult a licensed customs broker to apply the relevant US schedule notes.
Ethylene brassylate is a macrocyclic musk fragrance ingredient used in fine fragrances and personal care products. Its dedicated 10-digit line reflects its commercial importance as a specialty chemical distinct from commodity acyclic acids, and its separate enumeration allows for targeted duty and trade-remedy treatment independent of the broader NESOI basket.
