U.S. imports of aldehyde-ethers, aldehyde-phenols & related compounds (nesoi) (HS 291249) totaled $1.7M in June 2026, traded with 13 countries.
Importers of Aldehyde-Ethers, Aldehyde-Phenols & Related Compounds (NESOI) paid $252K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $1.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Spanning eight 10-digit tariff lines, this heading captures a chemically diverse set of bifunctional aldehydes — including para-anisaldehyde (2912491000), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (2912491500), hydroxycitronellal (2912495500), and several basket categories for aromatic and non-aromatic aldehyde-alcohols and aldehyde-ethers. These compounds serve as key intermediates in fragrance synthesis, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and specialty chemical production. China and Germany are the leading US suppliers, with India and Spain also significant; the breadth of the heading means correct 10-digit line selection often requires both a precise chemical identity determination and knowledge of whether the compound is aromatic or non-aromatic.

The aromatic/non-aromatic distinction follows standard organic chemistry definitions: compounds with a benzene or other aromatic ring directly attached to the aldehyde-ether functional system classify under the aromatic lines (e.g., 2912492600), while aliphatic or alicyclic structures fall under the non-aromatic lines (e.g., 2912499000 or 2912496000). A certificate of analysis with the full IUPAC name and structural formula is essential supporting documentation for the entry.
Hydroxycitronellal (2912495500) is a widely used fragrance ingredient but is subject to concentration limits under IFRA (International Fragrance Association) guidelines due to sensitization potential. While these are industry standards rather than US customs requirements, importers supplying the cosmetics or personal care sector should ensure their product documentation aligns with FDA cosmetic ingredient regulations and any applicable IFRA standards.
