U.S. imports of chlorobenzene, ortho-dichlorobenzene, and para-dichlorobenzene (HS 290391) totaled $5.2M in April 2026, traded with 5 countries.
Importers of Chlorobenzene, Ortho-Dichlorobenzene, and Para-Dichlorobenzene paid $321K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 6.2% on $5.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPara-dichlorobenzene (line 2903913000) is the commercially dominant compound in this heading, widely used as a moth repellent, deodorizer, and disinfectant intermediate, while ortho-dichlorobenzene (2903912000) serves as a solvent and agrochemical precursor. Chlorobenzene (phenyl chloride, line 2903911000) is a key intermediate in the synthesis of herbicides, pharmaceuticals, and rubber chemicals. Germany and India lead US imports under this heading, with Israel, Mexico, and China also supplying material — a mix that reflects both European specialty chemical expertise and lower-cost Asian production.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Para-dichlorobenzene used as a pesticide or disinfectant active ingredient is regulated by the EPA under FIFRA. Imported product intended for such end uses must comply with FIFRA registration requirements, and the importer may need to be a registered establishment. Product intended solely as a chemical intermediate for further manufacturing is subject to different requirements.
Pure chlorobenzene classifies under 2903911000, but mixtures containing chlorobenzene may classify elsewhere in the tariff schedule depending on the mixture's composition and the essential character of the blend. Importers of formulated products should analyze whether the mixture classifies in Chapter 29 as a defined chemical compound or in another chapter (e.g., Chapter 38 for prepared chemical products), and seek a binding ruling if the classification is uncertain.
