Last updated: April 2026 dataBisphenol A (BPA) is a foundational monomer for polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, making it a high-volume input for packaging, electronics, and coatings manufacturers. South Korea leads US import supply under this heading, with Taiwan and Thailand also significant sources — a supply geography that reflects the large petrochemical complexes in Northeast and Southeast Asia. All forms enter under the single 10-digit line 2907230000. BPA is subject to ongoing regulatory attention from EPA and state-level agencies regarding endocrine-disruption concerns, and importers should monitor TSCA reporting obligations.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
BPA is listed on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory, and importers may be subject to TSCA Section 13 certification requirements at entry. EPA has also conducted risk evaluations under TSCA Section 6 for BPA, so importers should track any resulting use restrictions or reporting rules that may affect their specific downstream applications.
South Korea's large integrated petrochemical producers have established South Korea as the primary BPA source for US buyers, offering scale and consistent quality. However, concentration in a single origin creates exposure to shipping disruptions and potential trade-remedy actions, prompting some buyers to qualify Taiwanese or Japanese suppliers as secondary sources.
